Police in Crown Heights are asking for the public's help locating two suspects wanted in connection with a mugging that took place last week.
Around 7:15 p.m. Sept. 21, two suspects snuck up on their 21-year-old victim near the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Kingston Avenue and brandished a gun, telling him to give up his cash and phone. After taking their ill-gotten gains, the two teens involved ran away.
No injuries were reported, though the victim lost his possessions to the two teens.
One suspect, who was holding the gun, is described as a 16-20-year old wearing a blue and white Adidas sweatsuit jacket and a black baseball hat.
The other suspect is between 16-18-years-old and was wearing a black t-shirt and dark jeans.
