BRONX - A man whose disguise looked like “The Mummy” and two other bundled up suspects are being sought for a pair of armed robberies in the Bronx and Manhattan. 



Police released surveillance video of the bundled up suspects who are wanted for armed robberies in the two boroughs. One of the suspects wore white fabric stretched across his face and covered his head making it look similar to the mummy. 



Cops said this suspect, along with two others, are part of a crew that robbed people at gunpoint. 





At around 6 am on July 9, the three men entered an apartment building at 1665 Vyse Avenue in the West Farms section of the Bronx. Cops said the trio displayed guns and took property off of a 55-year-old male and a 46-year-old woman. 



No one was injured in the robbery. Cops said the same crew struck again at around 7:30 am on July 16. The trio approached a 35-year-old man in front of 56 Bennett Avenue in upper Manhattan.

Cops said the men walked up to the resident, pulled out guns and removed property from the victim. 


No injuries were reported in the robbery. 



The second suspect is a male with a light complexion who was last seen wearing a green hoodie which covered his face. He also wore green pants and white sneakers.  


The final suspect is a male with a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie and baseball cap which covered his face. He also wore dark pants and red and white sneakers. 



Anyone with information in regard 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).
