Police are hoping the public can help them find six females accused of committing a "strong arm robbery" last month in Queens—the six ganged up on two women and demanded their iProducts!

According to the NYPD, at around 4:20 p.m. on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, near 32-11 Beach Channel Drive, two women were approached by the six females "who demanded Victim #1's iPhone 5. The group then assaulted the two victims and fled with Victim #1's phone and Victim #2's iPod. Neither of the female victims were seriously injured."

The suspects then fled into the subway system—it's pretty handy that someone was holding open the emergency exit door. CityRoom notes that all six appear to be smiling.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto Crime Stoppers' website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting their tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577.
