Authorities are on the lookout for a group of criminals responsible for a staggering 18 robberies across Queens and the Bronx, according to police reports.

The perpetrators, described as using “two-wheeled vehicles,” have been targeting individuals throughout six different precincts. They have been known to violently assault their victims, use firearms, or quickly snatch valuables before making a swift escape, as detailed by law enforcement officials.

The crime wave kicked off on September 6, when three attackers assaulted a 27-year-old man on White Plains Road near Mace Avenue in the Allerton area of the Bronx. This incident occurred around 5:40 a.m. The assailants threatened the man with knives and physically battered him, but ultimately left without taking any belongings, according to the police.

After a pause, the criminals struck again on October 4. This time, they stole a chain from a 33-year-old man on East Tremont Avenue near Bathgate Avenue in the Tremont section of the Bronx, speeding away around 5:45 p.m., as per the authorities.

Over the course of October, the robbers launched 13 additional attacks. Victims were found in the Allerton, Norwood, Kingsbridge, University Heights, and West Farms neighborhoods of the Bronx, as well as one incident in Woodside, Queens. In the Queens robbery, the assailants held a 26-year-old man at gunpoint on 39th Avenue near 65th Street, making off with his jewelry around 4:30 p.m. on October 17, according to police reports.

There were an additional 13 attacks throughout October, with victims in the Allerton, Norwood, Kingsbridge, University Heights and West Farms sections of the Bronx, and one robbery in Woodside, Queens, where the thieves held a 26-year-old man at gunpoint on 39th Ave. near 65th St. before taking his jewelry around 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 17, said police.

The crime spree included three more attacks in November, including the final known incident on Nov. 21, when the suspects attacked a 34-year-old man at Bedford Park Blvd. and Jerome Ave. in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx, taking two gold chains from his neck around 1:45 p.m., cops said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
