Police searching for moped riding suspects behind AirPod robbery spree
NEW YORK - Police released new images of two suspects they're searching for in a string of AirPod robberies in Manhattan.
Surveillance video shows them walking into a Home Depot last Saturday on Hamilton Parkway in Brooklyn.
In total, investigators say four suspects riding mopeds have struck 21 times since late January.
They typically work with two suspects on each moped. The passenger gets off, approaches the victim from behind, and steals the Apple AirPod Max headphones right off their head.
These headphones are typically valued around $500.
Police say no injuries have been reported.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). You can also submit a tip via their website or via DM on Twitter, @NYPDTips. All calls are kept confidential.
