Robbery Pattern Under Investigation in the Bronx
Police describe the incidents as part of an ongoing investigation into a Bronx commercial robbery pattern, with suspects allegedly using force to steal personal property before fleeing on foot. While the incidents occurred weeks apart, detectives believe they may be connected based on similarities in behavior and location.
Incident 1: Robbery at East 180 Street Business (48th Precinct)
According to the NYPD, the first incident occurred on Thursday, November 13, 2025, at approximately 5:42 p.m., inside a commercial establishment located at 1168 East 180 Street.
Police say two unidentified individuals entered the business and approached a 38-year-old female victim. The suspects allegedly forcibly removed cellphones and U.S. currency from the location before fleeing westbound on East 180 Street.
No injuries were reported in this incident.
Incident 2: Assault and Robbery on Westchester Avenue (43rd Precinct)
The second incident took place on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at approximately 11:27 a.m., inside 1807 Westchester Avenue, within the confines of the 43rd Precinct.
Police report that a 44-year-old male victim was approached by three unidentified individuals. The suspects allegedly punched the victim multiple times, forcibly dragged him into a bathroom, and removed property from both the victim and the location.
After the robbery, two suspects fled eastbound on Westchester Avenue, while the third fled westbound. The victim sustained minor injuries and was treated on scene by EMS.
The NYPD has released photos of the individuals wanted in connection with these incidents and is encouraging anyone who recognizes the suspects or has information about the robberies to contact authorities.
Even small details, police say, could help advance the investigation and prevent further incidents.
Robbery patterns involving commercial locations are taken seriously by law enforcement due to their impact on public safety and local businesses. Police stress that community awareness and cooperation are often key to identifying suspects quickly.
As the investigation continues, residents and business owners in the Bronx are encouraged to remain alert and report suspicious activity.
