A shocking broad-daylight robbery shook Boro Park on Friday afternoon when four Hispanic males violently attacked a man near Fort Hamilton Parkway and 56th Street, snatching a gold necklace off his neck before fleeing the scene.
The brazen assault occurred in full view of bystanders, prompting a swift response from Boro Park Shomrim after a resident urgently phoned in the incident. Within moments, multiple Shomrim volunteers were deployed, while the organization’s tech team sprang into action, scouring area surveillance footage for any leads.
Thanks to the rapid coordination, volunteers obtained a clear description of the suspects. Just blocks away, on 54th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues, a sharp-eyed Shomrim volunteer spotted one of the assailants. NYPD officers rushed to the location and took the suspect into custody without incident.
Sources tell YWN that the arrested individual is no stranger to law enforcement, with a long rap sheet that includes previous charges for violent robberies and grand larceny. Police have positively identified the remaining three suspects and are actively pursuing them.
Detectives are continuing their investigation, and additional arrests are expected.
