Aug. 6, 2017 Staff Report
The police are looking for two men who made several food delivery orders as a means to rob the victims dropping off the food.
The first incident took place on July 6 at around 11:20 pm, when a 38-year-old man who was making a food delivery was approached from behind in front of 33-21 13 Street and choked by one of the perpetrators while another removed $2,000 from his pant pocket and fled, police said.
Then on July 18, around 11:30 pm, a 51-year-old deliveryman was making a food delivery near 11-52 30 Road, when a man approached the victim from behind and choked him while removing $150 and an iPhone from his pant pocket and fled.
Two weeks later, on August 3, at around 9:30 pm, a 46-year-old deliveryman was dropping off food and, while in front of 38-59 9th Street, one man approached from behind and choked him while a second man removed $400 and two credit cards from his pant pocket and fled, police said.
The men would place the delivery calls using a disguised phone number.

$2,000? What was he really delivering
This was all over the tv news also.
Just another weekly occurrence picked up by the media in Astoria lately.
Just another day, living in the hood, just another day around the way. I’m feeling good today. Hey. Look at the bright side. All these stick ups and crime in Astoria. Maybe it’ll inspire someone to spit some dope rhymes.
