A 26-year-old woman was walking
her dog in Ridgewood Tuesday
morning, Aug. 3, when a bicyclist
rode up behind her in a chain-snatching
incident — and it was all caught on
camera.
The incident occurred around 9:30
a.m. in front of 17-39 Bleecker Street. Police
from the 104th Precinct are looking
for the man who approached his victim
on a dark bicycle, grabbed her by the
shirt and then forcibly removed a gold
necklace from her neck before taking
off northbound on Bleecker, according
to the NYPD.
The victim sustained minor scratches
on her neck and back but refused medical
attention at the scene. The value of
the necklace was around $1,100, police
said.
The cyclist is described as a man with
a dark complexion, with a thin build and
long, salt-and-pepper hair in cornrows.
He was last seen wearing black shorts, a
black T-shirt and eyeglasses, and he was
carrying a light brown book bag.No arrests
have been made. the investigation
is ongoing.
Anyone with information in regard
to the identity of the suspects is asked
to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers
Hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or for
Spanish, 888-57-PISTA (74782). The
