No mention of the ones from November 5th through, November 16th 2015 that occurred on 39th st 40th st and 41st st between 43rd and Skillman Avenue
this is normal in our area of sunnyside/woodside area.
Does’t look anything like them.
Rich and Paul from triangle park who drink and do drugs there everyday
It’s probably the drunk and drug guys that hang out in triangle park one name Pete another Rich
That’s a pretty unique leather cap… Just saying it’s not seen much any more and likely that it’s his goto cap
The one you see going down, Is the same one going up again with the hooded guy.
Yes, make sure you tell your landlord the lobby door isn’t closing. 3 weeks ago it seem like every lobby door was damaged on purpose. They yank on them so the door doesn’t align thus leaving it open.
Who were the robbers? The guys going upstairs, backs to the camera, or the guy coming downstairs?
Same guy. He went down to let in his partner then came back up
This has been reported on NY1 all day today I am told. Lets put an end to this nonsense. If your lobby door isn’t locking properly, report it to the Super and/or landlord ASAP
Definitely getting a real wiseguy vibe from the characters in the video.
also,
Odd lists of things to have laying around.
12,000 in cash?
4 phones?
They did not look caucasian to me!
i second that Rocky
It is always mentioned if the suspects appear black or hispanic. Why not mention race when they seem to be caucasian?
Correction. They always mention on the news when the perp is white, but HARDLY EVER mention their race when they are black or hispanic. Gotta love mainstream media!
That has not been my experience at all.
I wonder if these are the guys that robbed my apt. Took everything
When?
why is this information taking so long to be posted —
