Three Men Rob 67-Year-Old Woman At Gunpoint In Elevator Of Warbasse Building

A 67-year-old woman was robbed at gunpoint in the elevator of Amalgamated Warbasse Houses Building 2 on Monday, sparking security concerns among residents in the 2,585-unit complex.

According to police, the woman entered the elevator at 425 Neptune Avenue at approximately 8:10pm. Three men followed her. One drew a gun, barking order to hand over her valuables. The three men made off with a handbag containing money, credit cards and a call phone.

They fled on foot and left the woman unharmed. Police did not provide a description of the suspects.

The buildings are monitored by its own private security force, causing residents to question how the men made it into the building. Fliers are now being circulated (above), and last night building management called a tenant’s meeting with the security company, the NYPD’s 60th Precinct, Councilman Mark Treyger, Community Board 13 members and others.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.
