BRONX - Cops are looking five members of a violent robbery crew that terrorized residents throughout the Allerton section of the Bronx. 



Investigators released surveillance photos of several members of the crew that attacked at least three people near Bronx Park East.






The first case happened at around 11:50 pm on August 18 in the vicinity of Olinville Avenue and Thwaites Place. A 38-year-old man was walking on the street when he was rushed from behind by five people. 



Cops say the crew repeatedly punched and beat him throughout his face and body. They removed the victim’s iPhone and fled towards Bronx Park East. 



No word on the condition of the victim.

Five minutes later the crew struck a few blocks away in front of 2526 Bronx Park East. They roughed up a 47-year-old man and forcibly removed his backpack which contained his credit card, speaker, and personal papers. 



Eleven days later the crew returned to 2526 Bronx Park East and struck again. At around 9 pm on August 29, a 38-year-old man was approached by four men who demanded money. One of the crew pulled out a gun and began punching throughout his face and body. They removed the victim’s cell phone and fled.
