The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two individuals in connection to a “mulcting”—a specific form of robbery engendered by swindle—that occurred within the confines of the 30th Precinct. Details are as follows:
On Friday, May 2, 2025, at approximately 11am, a 79-year-old female was walking in the vicinity of West 138th Street and Broadway when a pair of con artists, a male and a female, approached her and engaged in conversation.
The unidentified individuals presented the victim with an alleged lottery ticket and convinced her they’d share the earnings.
The senior woman agreed, and the duplicitous duo then threatened her if she didn’t take them to her apartment.
Upon arrival, the individuals removed jewelry and cash valued at approximately $27,500.
The individuals fled the location on foot, traveling eastbound on West 137th Street to parts unknown. There were no injuries reported as a result of this incident.
