Police are searching for a thief who robbed a 10-year-old girl of her cell phone in Queens on Wednesday - and then made a getaway on a pink children's bike with butterflies on it. The girl was walking on 34th Avenue in North Corona on her way to school around 8am when the suspect approached her and ‘forcibly’ grabbed her phone before hopping on his pink bike and darting away, according to police. The girl reported suffering pain in her hand and was treated by a school nurse.
Footage posted by the NYC Police Department on its Crime Stoppers Twitter page shows the man after the act as he stops at a convenience store and steals a pink children’s bike with white tires and butterfly decals. After making a purchase, the man rides off in the footage. He is wearing a gray sweatshirt and matching hat, with a red undershirt, black pants and a black backpack.
