(NYPD)

Nov. 18, 2019 By Allie Griffin

A man was robbed while withdrawing cash from an ATM at a Flushing bank last month, police said.

The 34-year-old was inside Chase Bank, located at 40-42 Main St, on Oct. 27 at about 12:20 a.m. when a man approached him at the ATM machine. He simulated a weapon underneath his shirt and demanded money, cops said.

The 34-year-old complied and the man took $50 and fled southbound on Main Street.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of this male is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

What’s funny is that usually there’s a police tower/car parked right outside of that intersection. Where’s 109th Precinct?!

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
