Attempted robberies in South Elmhurst

Hi All,

PO Janine Rivera, 110th Precinct Community Affairs, called to let us know about two attempted robbery incidents in the area:

  • 4/8 at Hillyer and Kneeland - one male perpetrator in his 20's, unknown race, attempted to rob an Asian female at approximately 9:00 pm.
  • 4/8 at Seabury and 59th Avenue - two male perpetrators in their 20's, unknown race, attempted to rob an Asian male and a Hispanic female at approximately 5:30 pm.

Lucky for us the victims stepped up and reported the incidents or we wouldn't know what was going on. Please be alert, report suspicious people and notify the NYPD to report a crime.
