Suspect wanted for chain snatching incidents in Queens

OK we have gypsies targeting seniors with fake jewellery approach, moped suspects snatching chains and now walk by snatching.

Just don't wear jewellery is the new message for all for the sake of safety.

The NYPD released surveillance pictures of a suspect wanted for a series of chain snatching incidents in Queens.

NYPD reported the incidents started from June 24 to July 18 where six victims reported the robberies. Police say the suspect raked over $5,000 worth of jewellery from victims.

The first three incidents occurred in Jamaica for June and then to Jackson Heights in the vicinity of Roosevelt Avenue and 74th Street for July.

The new NYC is own nothing and be happy.
