Woman Accused Of Luring Men Via Instagram And Robbing Them With Help Of Accomplices

A woman in the Bronx has been accused of luring two men into meeting her via Instagram and robbing them with the help of her two masked accomplices.

The woman approached her victims through Instagram, offering to hang out with them but when the men turned up to meet her, two bandits robbed them at gunpoint, The New York Daily News reported. While one victim was robbed of his clothing, another was shot during his bid to escape.

The first unidentified victim, 24, was called near a contractor’s office on Anthony Ave. near the Cross Bronx Expressway in Claremont Village on Dec. 3 at around 11:30 p.m. ET., cops told The New York Daily News. The woman, along with her two accomplices showed up and drew a gun at him asking him to remove his clothing and belongings. The trio then robbed the man's car and drove off, according to the outlet.

The next day, the woman tricked a 27-year-old second victim to meet her on a residential block on Boller Ave. near Tillotson Ave. in Eastchester at around 8 p.m. ET. The victim was approached by two masked robbers who robbed him of his cell phone, coat, chain and a gold ring, according to News 12.

The victim managed to escape with his car but the duo opened fire on him, striking his vehicle as he fled, authorities told the outlet. The police released a photo of the suspect and asked anybody with information to reach out to Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

In July, a 61-year-old disabled woman was brutally beaten up by four people on a sidewalk in New York City after the victim stepped outside the hospital for some fresh air after her hospital visit. The incident, which involved three women and a man, was caught on camera. The horrific footage shows the assailants hitting the elderly woman with a metal pot before making off with her belongings. The thugs were also seen punching the woman, grabbing her by the hair, and knocking him down to the pavement. Police were still looking for the attackers.
