A series of assaults and robberies have been linked to a group of five women in Brooklyn and the Upper East Side, prompting the NYPD to issue a wanted notice.
During one incident, a 44-year-old man was driving a 2017 Toyota Rav4 for hire and parked it in front of 374 Ralph Ave. While waiting for his next pickup, four unidentified individuals entered the vehicle and started assaulting him. They proceeded to flee in the victim’s car, taking his headphones, ID documents, and other belongings. The victim sustained injuries and received on-site treatment.
In another case, a 58-year-old man parked his 2015 Toyota sedan for hire in front of 401 E 88 St. Two unidentified individuals assaulted him, stole his wallet, and fled in the previously stolen vehicle, which was occupied by at least one other unnamed individual. The victim suffered minor injuries but declined medical aid.
Additionally, five individuals entered a store located at 1293 Myrtle Ave, where one of them allegedly stole items without paying. When a 20-year-old female employee tried to intervene, she was verbally abused and attacked by all five individuals. They stole her cellphone and around $150 from behind the store counter before fleeing in the stolen car, last seen heading westbound on Myrtle Avenue. The victim also sustained minor injuries and did not seek medical attention.
