Three on one

The goons made off with the victim’s wallet, backpack and camera bag, which contained an $850 Canon camera and a $750 lens.
Gunning for wallets

The victim was passing the intersection at 3:08 am when the teenage suspect charged at him, sticking his pistol in the man’s face.
Cops arrested a suspect soon afterwards.
