A motorcycle-riding, gun-toting duo ripped off more than $25,000 in jewelry in a string of violent Bronx crimes last month, cops said.
Footage released by the NYPD late Thursday shows the two masked suspects – who are accused of six robberies spanning from Oct. 8 to 22 – hopping on a single motorcycle with green rims and speeding off.
The pair first approached a 54-year-old man on Grand Concourse near Rockwood Street at about 2 p.m. Oct. 8 and repeatedly punched him in the head and face, cops said.
They then snatched two necklaces and a bracelet, worth $6,350 in total, police said.
Then around 11:15 a.m. Oct. 18, the duo allegedly rolled up to a 38-year-old man on Randall Avenue near Tiffany Street and flashed a gun, cops said.
One of the suspects pistol-whipped the victim before grabbing his necklace and rings, worth about $6,600, authorities said.
About 15 minutes later, the motorcycle riders targeted a 31-year-old man on River Avenue near East 165th Street – about a block from Yankee Stadium, cops said.
They pulled a gun on the victim before yanking his necklace, worth about $3,300, according to authorities.
Fifteen more minutes passed before the muggers set upon a 48-year-old man on Williamsbridge Road near Lydig Avenue – bashing him in the head with a gun and robbing him of his $3,000 necklace, police said.
The pair targeted their youngest victim, a 17-year-old boy, around 11 a.m. Oct. 22, authorities said.
They drove up to the teen on East 167th Street near Gerard Avenue, where one of them whipped out a gun and stole two necklaces, worth about $2,500 in total, cops said.
The teen fought back, prompting the robber to fire off a single round from his gun — but the victim was not hit, authorities said.
Around 12:20 p.m. that same day, the pair rolled up to their final victim, a 36-year-old man, on Summit Avenue near West 165th Street, police said.
They yanked the victim’s necklace and bracelet, worth about $4,000, cops said.
The suspects bagged a total of $25,750 in jewelry from all six heists, police said.
No arrests had been made by Friday.
