NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are searching for three men they believe are responsible for robbing New York City T Mobile stores seven times over the course of a little over a month, officials said.
The thieves made off with $32,300 worth of electronics between March 30 and May 3, according to police.
The NYPD gave the following account of the heists:
The first incident took place on March 30 around 10:15 a.m.
The trio entered the T Mobile at 43 East 170th Street in the Bronx and stole $6,500 worth of electronics from the display case before fleeing in a gray Acura with New Jersey plates.
A little over an hour later, they hit the T Mobile at 46-01 Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside for $6,000 worth of electronics and fled in the same car.
On April 13 around 12:50 p.m. they robbed the store at 37-44 82nd Street in Flushing for $3,900 worth of electronics.
Later that day at 2:35 p.m. they made off with $9,200 worth of loot from the 408 Knickerbocker Avenue store in Bushwick.
Two separate instances of back-to-back robberies that involved driving across boroughs apparently wasn’t enough heat to get caught, because on April 21 around 4:40 p.m. they nabbed $1,100 worth of electronics at the 1367 Broadway outlet in Bushwick.
On May 3 around 3:20 p.m. they hit the same T Mobile they hit on the 21st again for $3,200 worth of electronics.
Only 40 minutes later they pulled off their seventh robbery of the same franchise of stores in 33 days. Around 4 p.m. they robbed the store in 18-22 College Point Boulevard Store in College Point, Queens for $2,400 worth of electronics.
If they’ve hit any more T Mobile’s since then, the NYPD haven’t identified it as part of the pattern.
