NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — The NYPD is searching for a group of people who robbed multiple businesses around Brooklyn and Queens for CBD products, cash and personal property.
The pattern of robberies started on Feb. 20 at a store on Nostrand Avenue where two people entered just after 2:30 p.m. One of the suspects pointed a gun at a 24-year-old employee before they both began punching him in the face. The duo stole the victim’s cell phone and wallet as well as $2,000 cash from behind the store’s counter, police said.
The next day, three people entered a deli on Wyckoff Avenue at 8:30 p.m. and sprayed an unknown substance in the face of an employee before stealing CBD products, $1000 cash and a cell phone, authorities said.
Cops said the group entered two smoke shops on March 7 but left without any products.
Their robbery spree continued on March 8 just after midnight when the group entered a store on Ralph Avenue and stole CBD products and $900 cash, police said.
Three days later, the group entered another store on Wyckoff Avenue just after 9 p.m. and stole more CBD products as well as $1,400 cash, 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).
