The first robbery occurred on July 15 around 8 p.m. as the 40-year-old victim was waiting inside of his car for a passenger in front of 1 Saint Pauls Court in Flatbush, police said.
After getting into the victim’s vehicle, the man placed a knife to the driver’s neck and demanded money and his property before stealing about $250 in cash and fleeing, authorities said.
The next day, the suspect struck again at the same location. Just before midnight, a 60-year-old man was waiting for a passenger in his car when the robber got in, placed a sharp object to his neck and demanded money and the driver’s property, according to officials.
The thief stole the victim’s iPhone 12, with a value of about $1,300, from the phone holder and then fled on foot, cops said.
No injuries were reported in either incident.
The suspect is described as being in his 30s, medium build and last seen wearing a camouflage jacket, black pants, black sneakers, red hoodie and a white face mask.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
