Updated April 13, 12:45 a.m.: A pair of seeming Samaritans ripped off an elderly Village woman early one morning last month after feigning to help her, police said.
Police recently released a photo of the second suspect.
According to police, on Mon., March 2, around 4:20 a.m., a 91-year-old woman fell down at the corner of Sixth Ave. and W. Third St. Two unknown males came to her aid and offered to help her back to her residence.
Once they arrived there, though, one of the men snatched $110 from her before they both fled northbound on Sixth Ave.
Anyone with information is asked to call the New York Police Department’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted on the Crime Stoppers Web site at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or on Twitter at @NYPDTips.
All tips are strictly confidential.
The first robber pictured here looks a lot like the guy robbing people in Wash Sq Park with a gun and a knife.
What was a 91 year old doing out at 4:20 am?!? Can’t help but wonder!!
