Overnight Robberies

Albany Police are investigating two robberies and two attempted robberies last evening, one which included a cab driver. The first incident occurred at 9:25 PM in front of 32 North Swan Street. Three black males in their early teens approached the victim, displayed a handgun and demanded the victim turn over whatever he had. The victim told the suspects he didn’t have anything on him. The suspects then turned around and took off on foot. They are described as 14 to 16 years old wearing black hooded sweatshirts. A canvass of the neighborhood was unsuccessful.

At approximately 10:20 PM at the intersection of Clinton Avenue and North Swan Street a suspect came up on a 18 year old female who was walking home. The suspect, a black male in his teens, 5’5”, 150 pounds wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, told the victim to “give me what you got”. When the suspect realized the victim was a girl he punched her in the face and then took off on foot westbound on Clinton Avenue. The victim sustained pain and swelling to her left eye. She refused medical attention.

The third robbery occurred at 10:30 PM in front of 99 Slingerland Street. The victim was approached by a black male who stated to him, “ turn around and put your hands up” implying he had a gun. The victim turned around and the suspect then went through his pockets and stole money from him. The suspect then took off on foot in an unknown direction. A K-9 dog tracked to the area of Frisbie Ave and Garden Street but the track ended there. The victim, who was not injured, described the suspect as 5’7” wearing a black jacket with a sweatshirt underneath and had on black and yellow timberland boots. No weapon was actually seen.

A cab driver was robbed at gunpoint in front of 22 Magnolia Terrace at 10:35 PM. The female cab driver, who works for Yellow Taxi, picked up the suspect at the intersection of Lark Street and Orange Street. He asked to go to 22 Magnolia Terrace. After arriving at the address the suspect pulled out a handgun and demanded money from the driver. The victim turned over a small amount of money to the suspect. The suspect then jumped out of the cab and ran towards Delaware Avenue on foot. A canvass of the neighborhood was negative and it does not appear that the residence on Magnolia Terrace was connected in the robbery. The driver was not injured in the robbery. The suspect is described as a black male in his teens, 5’4”, with a dark coat and dark hat.

As of now it is too early to say if any of the robberies are connected. The investigations are on-going.
