LONG ISLAND CITY — Two men robbed a man and a woman at gunpoint in a Queens park last month, taking off with their cellphones and debit cards, according to police.
Police say the suspects entered Murray Playground, at 45th Avenue and 21st Street in Long Island City, just after 2 a.m. on Sept. 15 and approached the 22-year-old victims with a gun, demanding money.
They stole a Samsung Galaxy phone, a debit card and $5 from the man and took an iPhone and debit card from the woman, according to police.
The relationship between the victims was not clear.
The NYPD released an image of one of the suspects, captured as he used the male victim’s debit card at a bank ATM on the Upper West Side, police said.
