Police said another man was robbed while delivering food inside of 60 Cooper Street on Feb 6. Four individuals pushed the man to the ground, stealing $200 dollars and punching him in the face multiple times.
Days later, on Feb. 11, at around 4 p.m. a 30-year-old man was approached by a group of four individuals near 3579 Harlem River Drive where they threatened him and demanded his property.
