QUEENS - Cops nabbed two teens out of a trio who robbed a 66-year-old Queens man at knifepoint. 


The NYPD announced the arrest of a 17-year-old male on three counts of robbery. They also arrested 18-year-old Jay-R Parmachand of Queens. He was charged with three counts of robbery. Police did not disclose the name of the 17-year-old because he is a minor. 


A third suspect is still wanted by police. Investigators are hoping the released surveillance video will lead to his arrest as it did his alleged accomplices. 



At around 4 am on March 29, a 66-year-old man was walking in the vicinity of 134 Street and Grand Central Parkway service road in Briarwood. Three males ran up to him and displayed a knife demanding money. 


Cops said the robbers removed the victim’s shoulder bag and fled on foot. Investigators released surveillance video taken from a local bodega. 


The images led to the arrest of two of the three suspects. 


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls are strictly confidential.
