Armed Bed-Stuy T-Mobile Robbery Is Part Of Citywide Pattern, Cops Say

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A man robbing T-Mobile stores across the city at gunpoint was spotted in Bed-Stuy earlier this week, according to police.

The man pointed a gun at an employee in the Fulton Street store near Patchen Avenue around 3:40 p.m. and demanded money, fleeing with around $230, police said.

The robbery is one of at least four times the same man has robbed a T-Mobile store at gunpoint in the last week across three different boroughs, police said.

The man also stuck up a Bronx T-Mobile on East 233 Street last Thursday, raking in $1,139 before driving away in a red SUV, police said. He would return to that same T-Mobile almost a week later on Tuesday, May 24, this time leaving with $158 on foot, police said.

In Queens, the man was seen at a T-Mobile on Liberty Avenue, police said. In that robbery, he left on foot with around $80, police said.

Police said the man is approximately 35 to 45 years old, stands around 5 feet 8 inches or 5 feet 9 inches in height and has a medium build.

They have released video of the robberies and a photo of the man's getaway car:
