Police are investigating a string of six armed robberies that unfolded across Brooklyn and Queens, leaving residents and business owners shaken.
The first robbery was caught on an exclusive surveillance video at 1695 Broadway. Days later, another store in Bed-Stuy was hit, with suspects making off with $500. Neighbors say the violence feels relentless.
“I’m so used to crime in Brooklyn that nothing really phases me,” said resident Ricky.
According to police, the suspects then targeted a liquor store at 504 Nostrand Ave., again stealing $500.
Surveillance footage shows the group casing a nearby shop just doors away. That store’s owner says the repeated activity has left her fearful.
“They come as a group every time. We don’t know if they will attack us or bring a weapon, so I’m scared,” said shop owner Saw.
The robbery spree didn’t stop there. Police say the group also struck a store at 98-05 Jamaica Avenue in Queens, stealing $600, six iPhones and a Nintendo Switch, all just before noon.
“They don’t care about the time. They come during the daytime also,” Saw added.
Investigators say the suspects eventually returned to 504 Nostrand Ave., where surveillance shows a cashier staring down the barrel of a gun as $200 was taken. Residents say the pattern of gun violence must end.
A shop cashier named Bryan says the group rushed in demanding cash, which he handed over "because [he] didn't want to get shot."
“I think it’s been happening for a long time now,” Ricky said. “Stricter gun control laws - everybody’s talking about it, nothing happens.”
Police sources tell News 12 that the investigation is ongoing and urge anyone who recognizes the suspects or has information to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888-577-TIPS (8477). Tips can be made anonymously.
