Two men and two women are suspected of stealing thousands of dollars from women within the 44 Precinct in the Bronx.
The first incident occurred Sept. 6, and involved two people approaching a 73-year-old woman in Grand Concourse.
When asking for directions, they gave her a paper with an unknown substance and took $4,000 from her purse, as well as jewelry worth over $1,700 was taken.
Just five days later, they are suspected of asking a 50-year-old woman for cash for a lottery ticket cash out and also handed her a paper with an unknown substance.
The woman was at a nearby Chase Bank, and they escorted her inside and took $3,000 from the account. That woman later lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital. She is expected to be OK.
About two weeks later they are suspected of approaching a 45-year-old woman in Harlem. The victim informed them that she had cash at her home. The suspects took a taxi to her home and stole $3,000 from her.
Police are still searching for these four individuals.
Anyone who recognizes the four people is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
