A pair of gun-toting males on a two-wheeled vehicle committed nine violent robberies in June, cops said. All the attacks took place between 11 and 11:45 p.m.
On June 12, two women were robbed and dragged to the ground – one on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 62nd Street and the other on Eighth Avenue and 54th Street.
Three days later, the suspects allegedly robbed a woman on Sixth Avenue between 44th and 45th streets; a man on 57th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, and a man on 55th Street near Eighth Avenue. One of the men, 72, was punched and pistol-whipped.
Four people were robbed on June 28: a man on 53rd Street near Sixth Avenue; a woman on 10th Avenue and 67th Street; a man on Ovington and 10th Avenues; and a man on 73rd Street near 12th Avenue. The suspects threw the first two victims to the ground and hit the fourth victim and stole his motorcycle, cops said.
