BRONX - Cops are searching for a trio who stole the shirt off a teen’s back at gunpoint, literally.

 

The NYPD released surveillance video of the trio of suspects. All were dressed in black and one rode a razor scooter. 

At around 4 pm on May 11, a 16-year-old male was walking in the courtyard of an apartment complex at 365 East 163 Street in Concourse Village. Cops said the trio of men in black walked up behind the teen and demanded his clothes. One of the suspects pulled out a gun, the NYPD said. 

The teen was forced to take off his sneakers and his sweatshirt and hand it over to the robbers. 

The crew then ran out of the courtyard and were last seen heading southbound along Park Avenue toward East 162nd Street. 

On the surveillance video all three suspects are seen wearing black hoodies and black pants. One of the suspects has a large afro and was seen wearing a black mask. 

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).
