Good news they were apprehended

Excellent apprehension by officers.Stay safe Men and Women in Blue!!

Awesome work!!!

They got caught because they came back to the scene within minutes of robbing the guy! Asian kids and a Hispanic kid on scooters! The Hispanic thug with the gun could barely reach the victims head head he was so short! Yes, they were caught, but this is NNYC…. They’ll be given a hug and released soon. Thank Hochul and Bragg!
