The robbers have targeted areas near 44th and 48th Precincts in the Bronx and the 33rd and 34th Precincts in Washington Heights and Inwood, according to the NYPD

 

 

This duo is anything but dynamic — but they are dangerous.

The NYPD is looking to curb two motor scooter-riding robbers who struck 15 times between June 17 and July 16 in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan.

The bandits’ MO is that they “display a firearm, simulate a firearm or verbally threaten that they have one,” while demanding whatever valuables their victims have on them, police said.

They then grab the victims’ property before speeding off on their motorized scooter, cops said.

“They are taking mostly cell phones and wallets,” an NYPD spokeswoman said on Saturday, after police released a photo of the duo on the scooter.

The robbers have targeted the confines of the 44th and 48th Precincts in the Bronx and the 33rd and 34th Precincts in Washington Heights and Inwood, the NYPD said.
