NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A pair made off with more than $23,000 in jewelry and cash from their victims in armed robberies in the Bronx and Manhattan, police said Tuesday.
In the first incident, on March 3, around 5:20 a.m., a man approached two women, ages 27 and 32, outside a nail salon on Grand Concourse near East 183rd Street in Fordham Heights, according to police.
He whipped out a gun and took $8,000 worth of necklaces right off their necks, scratching and bruising the 32-year-old. The younger victim didn't sustain any physical injuries.
The robber fled in a dark gray BMW X5, police said.
The following morning, around 7:25 a.m., a man drove up in the same BMW to the Dyckman St. station in Inwood and entered.
He approached a 40-year-old man inside the 1 train station, pulled out a gun and pistol-whipped the victim once in the head.
The man made off with the man's jewelry as well as his wallet, which contained credit cards and $1,200 in cash.
He fled on Grand Concourse, heading north in a dark gray BMW X5, carrying jewelry worth about $8,000.
The victim was bruised and scratched, but did not require hospitalization.
About three hours later, two men walked into a barbershop near the corner of East 169th Street and Morris Avenue in Claremont.
Inside, a 50-year-old man was pistol-whipped and had jewelry worth $14,000 removed from him. The victim’s forehead was cut in the robbery.
The duo fled in the same BMW used in the other robberies.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
