Nov. 18, 2019 By Allie Griffin

Police are searching for a man who snatched a woman’s bag with $2,000 cash inside in Flushing earlier this month.

The 51-year-old woman was walking on the sidewalk near 41-82 Main St on Nov. 2 just before 3 p.m., when the unknown man grabbed her bag and ran off, police said. The victim’s bag contained approximately $2,000, identification cards and credit cars.

The alleged bag-snatcher then fled northbound on Main Street, cops said.

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).

Common sense

With all the robberies going on in Flushing one would expect the city to notice and increase policing.

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.
