NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for two men who robbed a 31-year-old man who entered their vehicle after mistaking it for a rideshare or taxi in the Bronx last month.
The man entered a gold Honda CRV SUV with an exposed tire on the back and a roof rack on May 20 around 4:20 p.m. at the intersection of West Tremont Avenue and Jerome Avenue in Morris Heights, officials said.
When he got inside he found two men were in the vehicle, and one man pulled a gun on the victim before stealing his cell phone and wallet with about $500 in it, according to police.
The robbers drove the victim about 15 minutes away to Yankee Stadium, where he fled.
The victim was not injured during the robbery.
Police are asking anyone with information in regard on the robbery to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Anonymous tips can also be submitted on the Crime Stoppers website or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
