NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are looking for a man who they say is behind a dozen chain snatching attempts in New York City over more than just a month.
The NYPD released footage of a suspect in the robbery spree, showing the man with a medium build wearing a black ski mask riding a red and white dirt bike.
The 12 incidents happened between Oct. 2 and Nov. 10, including eight that happened on the same day, cops detailed.
The first four incidents happened within a week of each other on Oct. 2-8, involving an unidentified male on a dirt bike snatching jewelry from the victim’s neck, police said.
Three of the first four incidents happened in Washington Heights, while the other was in the Kingsbridge Heights section of the Bronx.
The next incidents didn’t occur until over a month later — but police said the remaining snatching tries all played out within about five hours of each other.
Between 10:20 a.m. and 5:12 p.m. on Nov. 10, police said the man continued to try snatching necklaces from victims, and tried taking one victim’s purse.
Amid the eight incidents, the suspect failed to come away with items three times. The Nov. 10 spree started in the Concourse Village section of the Bronx, then returned to Washington Heights for all but one of the remaining crimes, which happened in the Longwood section of the Bronx.
The combined value of the snatched necklaces adds up to about $8,700 — with one stolen item’s worth unknown.
Of the 12 victims, seven were women, and ages of all victims ranged from 23 to 55 years old.
Some victims reported redness, swelling, scratches or small lacerations from the robberies, but all refused medical attention.
Police said the suspect was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, gray sweatpants and blue sneakers.
