Authorities in New York City are on the lookout for a group of robbers who have been targeting stores and stealing ATMs along with tens of thousands of dollars in cash. The crime spree has spanned 49 stores across the city over a three-month period.
The burglars, consisting of three individuals, have been active in various areas including Upper Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. Their operations took place between September 19 and December 26, as per a report by the New York Post.
