Gunpoint Robbery Leaves Teens Shoeless In Prospect Park: NYPD

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Two teenagers were robbed at gunpoint in Prospect Park Sunday by a duo who stole — among other things — the shoes off their feet, police said.

At about 7:10 p.m. on March 6 the as-yet unidentified thieves walked up to the teens and pulled out a gun before grabbing their wallets, bags, credit cards, and shoes, according to the NYPD.

The thieves ran away, leaving the 18-year-old and 16-year-old victims shoeless but unharmed in the park, police said.

Police released a photo of the muggers but as of this week no arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing, according to the NYPD.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked by police to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). People can also submit tips online or on Twitter, @NYPDTips.
