A money-hungry robbery crew has hit 49 storefronts across the Big Apple, taking off with ATMs and netting tens of thousands of dollars — as part of a three-month spree that spanned four boroughs, cops said.
The trio of perps boosted cars to use as getaway vehicles before each of the heists in upper Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens between Sept. 19 and Dec. 26, according to police.
Inside the stores, they looted ATMs and other goods before bolting in various vehicles, authorities said.
During two robberies in September, cops said the group got away with nearly $40,000 in cash from ATMs.
But police were unable to provide a total amount for all of the ATMs stolen.
On Dec. 23, surveillance cameras captured two of the perps around 1:20 a.m. removing wires from an ATM inside a grocery store at 75-10 31st Ave. in Jackson Heights, Queens, according to video released by the NYPD Friday.
Cops are asking the public for any information about the three suspects involved in the citywide robbery pattern. Police have yet to make any arrests. Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
