81st robbery

Police are looking for two men who they say pulled a gun on a man inside his building’s vestibule on West 81st street on Sunday morning. The men are depicted in the surveillance video below.

It has been reported to police that on Sunday, April 24, 2016 at approximately 0645 hours the male individuals followed the 53 year-old male victim into the vestibule of his apartment building on West 81 Street and produced a firearm.  The individuals demanded the victim’s property, which consisted of two bags containing $3400 in cash, a cellphone, and two (2) iPads.  The individuals removed the victim’s property and fled in a mid-size black SUV.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).  The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

That’s a lot of cash to carry in 2 bag, and 2 IPads and a cell phone to boot.
Sure sounds like the robbers knew exactly what to look for.
No Stop & Frisk puts these maggots on the loose, and law abiding citizens on the run.
Thank you all bleeding heart libtards and comrade BdB.

Surely you can express yourself more maturely. It’s this kind of rhetoric – maggots, libtards, comrade – that made WSR suspend the comments section. You can convey the same points without using inflammatory words.

The robbers are what I said they are – maggots.
The bleeding hearts are what I said they
are – libtards.
And comrade is what I said he is.

Are you troubled Jefff hearing the truth?

Should I glorify them by naming them outstanding citizens?

Not a word from you about what actually happened, only degrading my “immature? language.
Oh well…………….

I’m no fan of our incompetent, possibly corrupt mayor, but what can any mayor do about two criminals who want to commit a robbery like this? It was early morning on 81st street, apparently staked out and planned…could Guiliani have done better? Ray Kelly back as commish?

What kind of lifestyle or job entails coming home at 6:45 am with two iPads and $3400 in cash?

It was never stop “question” and frisk. It was stop, put your ******* hands behind your back and shut up, and frisk. And no, it was ruled in a court of law to be both unsuccessful and unconstitutional. Shame on Ray Kelly. RIP Eric Garner.

Yes, it WAS “Stop, Question and Frisk.” But if you choose to believe Al Sharpton and not the NYPD statistics, go ahead. Bottom line: NYC police no longer stop people (YAY! A victory for people of color!) if they look like they may have a knife or gun under their clothing. Are you happy now? Who will suffer? Mostly people of color. But you don’t care about them.

I don’t know a nice way to say this. Why don’t commenters like Zeus comment on crime stories like where a woman’s scooter was stolen? Hopefully I’m wrong but it seems AN AWFUL LOT like these people don’t have anything to say if they don’t know the suspect’s race.
