"According to News 12 New York, investigators identified the suspect as Torres and linked him to incidents in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx. Police say his first Brooklyn stop on March 14 was a business on Fulton Street around 11:20 a.m., where he allegedly handed over a note demanding cash but ultimately left with nothing."
"Surveillance images released by the NYPD show a man inside storefronts and entering a subway station as detectives canvass neighborhood precincts and transit hubs, trying to trace his path across the city."
"Police are asking anyone who recognizes the man, or who may have relevant video or photos, to contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA, in line with the NYPD's Crime Stoppers guidance. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online and may be eligible for a cash reward."
Gustavo DeJesus Torres, 33, is the subject of a citywide manhunt for allegedly conducting note-passing robberies at New York City businesses. Investigators have linked him to incidents across Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx. On March 14, he targeted two Brooklyn locations: a Fulton Street business where he left empty-handed, and a Flatbush bank where he obtained approximately $265. Surveillance footage shows him entering storefronts and subway stations. No injuries have been reported. The NYPD released surveillance images and is seeking public assistance through Crime Stoppers. This pattern mirrors previous daytime robbery incidents in Brooklyn that have occurred in recent months.
