Detectives from the 101 Precinct Squad in Far Rockaway are looking for four thugs who robbed a 27-year-old Seagirt Boulevard woman at about 7 p.m. on October 21. A spokesperson for the NYPD's public information department says that the four approached the unidentified victim inside 20-42 Seagirt Boulevard in the Wavecrest Gardens complex and forced her to the ground. One of the thugs put a knife to the woman's throat and demanded all of her money and personal property. They took her property, police say, and fled in an unknown direction. She was transported to St. John's Episcopal Hospital, where she was treated and released. Three of the alleged perpetrators were caught by surveillance cameras in the building.

The previous day, police say, there was a large fight at the school that was most likely gang-related and led to the bat beating. Three arrests were made. All of those arrested were younger than fifteen-years-of-age. Police sources are withholding their names because of their ages.
