Police Seek Suspects In String Of Nearby Armed Robberies

The NYPD is asking for the public’s help in finding three men they say robbed several businesses in Brooklyn over the past five months.

At least seven stores have been hit in eight incidents since Fall 2013, police say. Although some of the incidents took place in Canarsie’s 69th Precinct, a few (including one store that was robbed twice) are in our area.

In the first incident, which took place at about 11:50pm on Thursday, October 10, 2013, police say the three suspects robbed the Western Union store at  1401 Nostrand Avenue (between Linden Boulevard and Martense Street) in the 67 Precinct.

Next they hit Caribbean Air Mail at 668A Flatbush Avenue (between Hawthorne Street and Westbury Court) in the 71 Precinct at 3:29pm on Friday, October 18, 2013.

The suspects then returned at 4:55pm on Saturday, November 2, 2013 to the Western Union location robbed in the first incident.

And on Saturday, December 7, 2013 at 6:55pm, cops say the suspects robbed the the Cam Transfer Money store located at 1439 Flatbush Avenue (between Farragut Road and E 28th Street) in the 70 Precinct.
