A teenager from the Woodside Houses was arrested for an armed robbery in Flushing late last month, and the NYPD is still looking for his accomplice, who remains at large.
Isaiah King, 18, of 31st Avenue in Woodside, and his partner entered a commercial building at 136-51 37th Ave. in Flushing and allegedly approached a 28-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman and pulled out firearms at around 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 29.
They pushed the man against a wall and forcibly removed his cell phone and wallet before pistol-whipping him multiple times, police said. The wallet contained $4,000 in cash, three bank cards, and a California driver’s license, according to the criminal complaint. King and his accomplice proceeded to take the woman’s bag, which contained $600 in cash, and they fled the scene on foot.
Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing responded to the location and, after a foot pursuit, King was taken into custody. The arresting officer said that as he pursued the teenager on foot, he saw him drop a firearm onto the ground, which the officer recovered and determined it was loaded with eleven rounds of ammunition. The accomplice was last seen running westbound on 37th Avenue toward Main Street.
King was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on May 30 on a complaint charging him with two counts of robbery in the first degree, an armed felony offense, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Queens Criminal Court Judge Anthony Battisti set bail at $30,000 cash and $50,000 bond.
Police from the 109th Precinct are still looking for King’s accomplice, who is described as having a dark complexion. He wore a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, white sneakers, and eyeglasses.
