When the peach-peddler tried to chase the duo, one of ❀the hooligans tri🌳pped him, authorities said.
The crew laid low until 6:25 p.m. on Dec.❀ 14, when one dipped into a vendor’s pocket on East 96th Street near Thir𒁏d Avenue and split with about $150 in produce proceeds, police said.
The next day, the crooks robbed two stands in l❀ess than 30 mi♓nutes.
The thieves🗹 teamed up to steal $95 from a vendor on the corner of East 86🙈th Street and York Avenue at around 8:05 p.m., Dec. 15, according to cops.
Just 25 minutes later, three of them acco♋sted a produce salesman at East 97th Street and Second Avenue, holding his arm back as they rifled through his pockets and grabbed $98, authorities said.
