Apple Store Shoppers Targeted In Manhattan Robberies: Police

MANHATTAN, NY — Apple store shoppers in Manhattan are being targeted by robbers from the West Village to the Upper West Side, the NYPD said.

Police are looking for individuals they say were involved in a string of robberies from June 30 to July 22, where victims had just-purchased Apple products stolen.

The incidents took place in the West Village's 6th Precinct, Chelsea's 10th Precinct, the Upper East Side's 19th Precinct, and the Upper West Side's 20th Precinct, according to police.

While multiple people have taken part in the robberies, police are specifically looking for one man. The NYPD described him as a Black male, with a thin build, black hair and last seen wearing a white t-shirt with blue sweatpants.
