NYPD says Bronx robbers are targeting teens in a pattern of muggings
Police said Tuesday they were looking for two men connected to multiple robbery incidents targeting teens in the Bronx precinct that is home to Yankee Stadium.
Of the 13 separate incidents police reported from January to May, 11 appeared to target teens. Police said suspects punch and choke their victims or threaten them with knives or guns and force them to hand over cellphones and other valuables. NYPD officials could not immediately say whether the suspects still at large are also teens. Police said they participated in a robbery on College Avenue and East 170th Street just after midnight on April 30, where the attackers demanded in Spanish that a 44-year-old male victim hand over his money.
