The police hope to find the dastardly person who stole an electronic gadget from a little kid in the Bronx.
According to the NYPD, on Saturday, September 7th, at around 5:20 p.m., a woman was strolling her 2-year-old son when the suspect walked up to the toddler and took the iPod right out of his hands. Aside from his irrevocably shattered innocence, the child was uninjured.
The police released an image of the suspect and asks that anyone with information in regards to this Grand Larceny is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
In recent months, a three-year-old has been robbed of a gold necklace, another three-year-old was robbed of $500, and third three-year-old was robbed of an iPhone.
