Police Search for Last of Three Robbery Suspects

A triumvirate of robbers wreaked havoc on Brooklyn and Queens between April 2010 and Jan. 2011. Police are still searching for the third suspect.

Police are asking for help locating the last of three suspects responsible for committing a series of seven robberies throughout Brooklyn and Queens.

Police recently arrested Brooklyn residents Thomas Harris, 27, and Wendell Jenkins, 23, on multiple charges of robbery. Still missing is the third suspect, who is described as a black woman between 25 and 35-years-old.

The suspects developed a specific M.O when it came to carrying out their crimes, first approaching their victim - all of whom have been female - at gunpoint as she entered her car. The suspects then demanded the victim's ATM cards and PIN numbers before finally forcing them to drive to a nearby ATM, where the suspects would draw money from the victim's account.
