Cops Searching For Bike-Riding Robbery Suspects In Queens

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Police are hunting for a group of young men on bicycles who, they say, have been robbing people in Queens.

Investigators have released images of four of the suspects.

The men have been riding together in groups of three to six and struck at least four times last month, police said.

Victims say the suspects have snatched their iPhones. In one incident, a 50-year-old woman said they took her purse.

Investigators say they last struck on Sept. 24 in Howard Beach. The others robberies occurred in Richmond Hill and Ozone Park.

Police are asking anyone with information about the suspects to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-8477 or to submit a tip online at NYPDCrimeStoppers.com. All communications are kept confidential.
