Police: Group wanted for robbing 2 people in Manhattan
NEW YORK - Police are trying to track down a group accused of robbing two people about 24 hours apart in Manhattan.

Police said they approached a 54-year-old man inside the rink and threatened him with a crowbar. They made off with $200.
The next day, just after 6 a.m. on 51st Street, police said the group slapped a 61-year-old man in the face, stole his cellphone and $6.
