The individual is described as a black male who is approximately 5’7”, 150 pounds who was last seen all camouflage.
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477)

I don’t believe it is possible for someone to take you wallet out of your pocket, take the cash out, and put it back in your pocket without you noticing! I smell fish.
