Hate crimes unit investigating Crown Heights robberies
An armed robber targeted at least three Hasidic Jewish men in Crown Heights this month, and the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force is now investigating, police sources said Monday.
The Brooklyn crook found his first victim at the corner of Carroll Street and Albany Avenue around 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 18, cops said.
"Give me your money!" the knife-wielding goon demanded.
But the victim ran away, leaving him empty-handed, police said.
The next night, a robber fitting the same description approached a 35-year-old man while he was walking in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 8 p.m., police said.
Again, the suspect said, "Give me your money," cops said, but he still didn't get any dough.
A third man was targeted by a robber fitting a similar description four nights later, on Jan. 21, according to sources. The robber fled again empty-handed.
