MANHATTAN - Maybe their next photo will be a mugshot instead of a selfie. Cops are looking for a trio suspected mean girls who beat and robbed a girl in the Heights and then posted selfies to social media.
At around 6:25 pm on May 8, a 12-year-old girl was in front of 479 Audubon Avenue. Cops said three older girls approached her and then pounced.
The females began punching and kicking the tween throughout her body. One of the girls ripped the cellphone out of the young victim’s hands. The attackers then fled on foot.
EMS transported the victim to Bellevue Hospital where she was listed in stable condition.
However, apparently the three suspects made up their own wanted poster. Cops released a social media post of the three suspects. The trio wanted for assault and robbery posted a selfie of themselves together, apparently after the robbery.
The suspects are described as between the ages of 14 and 18.
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).
