The two thugs who “didn’t have the ‘cojones’ to shoot” a SoHo woman during a robbery last week have been connected to seven other robberies throughout Manhattan and Queens, cops said.
Authorities said the thieves, who robbed Anna Graham July 3rd as she was unloading her car, had committed a string of stickups starting on June 29.
The spree began when the two men approached a 50-year-old woman on Slocum Crescent in Forest Hills at around midnight June 29. The thieves pulled out a gun and demanded the victim hand over her jewelry and purse, cops said.
The men struck again the next night — this time with a female accomplice who sometimes acts as a lookout — robbing two women within five minutes of each other at around 5 a.m. in the East Village cops said. The thieves made off with cell phones and credit cards.
They were back on the streets of Queens July 2, this time robbing a 51-year-old man in Rego Park at around 12:40 a.m., making off with the victim’s gym bag and cell phone, cops said.
The next night, a 66-year-old man was robbed in Forest Hill about one hour before the thieves traveled into Manhattan to look for more victims, cops said. The man was forced to hand over $60, a cell phone and his watch.
The thieves then stuck up Graham outside of her home on Grand Street at around 1:20 a.m. as her husband, renowned sculptor Ernst Neizvestny, slept upstairs.
Despite her gumption, the thieves made off with $600 an iPad Mini and her cell phone, cops said.
About an hour after that, they capped off the evening by robbing a man who had just used an ATM machine in Turtle Bay. The thieves made the victim hand over his wallet and debit cards, cops said.
The crime spree concluded on July 5 when the crew robbed a 33-year-old man at around 2 a.m. in the West Village near Perry and Hudson Streets, cops said. The victim handed over his wallet and cell phone.
The men involved in the robberies are described as being in their mid-20s weighing around 180 pounds and standing approximately 6-foot tall.
The women are described as being in her mid-20s with one weighing around 180 pounds and standing about 5-foot-8. The other woman is about 110 pounds and stands around 5-foot-2.
