NEW YORK CITY -- (WPIX) -- A group of people are sought in a series of 10 robberies across the city, according to police.
The incidents date back to Monday, Aug. 26 at 4 a.m., in the vicinity of Broadway and Verveelen Place in the Bronx. A 30-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were entering their vehicle when two unidentified men exited a vehicle, brandishing firearms and demanding property.
The victims relinquished $200 and jewelry before the men fled in a burgundy Kia, southbound on Broadway.
Just over 24 hours later, at 4:55 a.m. on August 27, the men approached a 27-year-old man on the corner of 9th Avenue and 207th Street as he was getting food at the location. The men again displayed firearms and took $2,000 and cash and $25,000 worth of jewelry before fleeing eastbound on 207th Street.
