BROOKLYN — Police are hunting for four men wanted for a series of robberies across Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn, the NYPD said.
The suspects, all described as being in their 20s, first robbed a 23-year-old man on Classon Avenue and Clifton Place around 9:40 p.m. on Aug. 16, police said. The men threatened to attack him while one of the men took items from his pocket, according to police.
Police released surveillance video of the suspects captured near the scene of that robbery.
The men struck again on Aug. 22, when they robbed four other people during a four-and-a-half-hour spree, police said.
They first approached another 23-year-old man near Willoughby and Myrtle avenues at 1:15 a.m. that, police said. One of the men told the victim he had a gun and the others attacked him, police said. The men then took his backpack and cellphone before running off, according to police.
Less than 30 minutes later, the suspects pushed a 43-year-old man to the ground and robbed him of at Lafayette and Grand avenues, police said. It was not clear what they stole from the victim.
At 4:45 a.m. that same morning, the men threatened to attack a 37-year-old woman at Water and Pearl streets before taking her cellphone and purse, police said.
Finally, at 5:50 a.m., the suspects attacked a 25-year-old man at Concord and Bridge streets before stealing his backpack, police said.
