The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying several individuals wanted in connection with a robbery pattern spanning four Brooklyn precincts — the 60th, 61st, 62nd and 68th.

Police said the incidents took place between February 10 and February 21, 2026, and involved teenage victims who were approached by groups of suspects riding motorized scooters.

In the first incident, reported on February 10 around 12:40 p.m. near 17th Avenue and 65th Street in the 62nd Precinct, two individuals approached a 19-year-old male seated on a motorized scooter. One displayed a machete before forcibly taking the scooter. The suspects fled in an unknown direction. No injuries were reported.

On February 13 at approximately 9:15 a.m., within the 68th Precinct near Ridge Boulevard and 86th Street, four individuals approached a 16-year-old male and demanded his jacket. The group attempted to remove the jacket and tore part of it before fleeing on motorized scooters. No injuries were reported.

A third incident occurred on February 16 at about 3:30 p.m. in front of 231 Neptune Avenue in the 60th Precinct. Five individuals riding scooters approached two 13-year-old boys and attempted to remove their jackets. When one victim resisted, he was punched in the face. One suspect displayed a knife before both jackets were taken. 

The most recent incident was reported on February 21 at approximately 2:55 p.m. near Ocean Avenue and Oriental Boulevard in the 61st Precinct. Four individuals approached a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old. One suspect pushed the 16-year-old off his e-bike and forcibly removed a Nike backpack from the 14-year-old. The group fled on the victim’s motorized scooter.

Police described the suspects as males approximately 16 to 18 years old with light complexions. Images of two of the individuals, obtained from the February 21 incident, were released by police.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
