NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police on Wednesday released photos of two suspects they are looking to identify in an ambush robbery that occurred in the Bronx last month.
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 3, a 34-year-old man was walking in front of 1 East Burnside Ave. in the West Bronx when a white Kia Telluride SUV pulled alongside him, and three unknown individuals exited the vehicle and surrounded him, officials said.
One person gestured to his waist band and stated, "If you move, I'll shoot you" as the two other suspects stole the victim's Samsung Galaxy cell phone and $70 cash, the NYPD said.
The victim then ran from the individuals, who gave a brief chase before reentering the SUV and fleeing the scene, cops said.
The vehicle, a Kia Telluride, white SUV, with a New York License plate #JHU9322, was last spotted on an Argus camera at the corner of Davidson Avenue and West 177 Street, authorities said.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
