Brooklyn cops didn't have to go far to nab a robbery suspect.
Police in the Williamsburg section of the New York City borough told the New York Post that Awiey "Chucky" Hernandez walked into a precinct house Tuesday ? and stood right next to a wanted poster with his face on it.
"Obviously, he did not notice it, but we did," Sgt. Norman Horowitz told the newspaper. Hernandez, 20, was at the station house to ask about his alleged accomplice in two livery-cab stickups, 18-year-old Huquan "Guns" Gavin. Gavin, whose face was also on the wanted poster, had been arrested only hours earlier in an apartment raid, where police found wallets belonging to the two cab drivers who had been held up.
"I can't understand how [Hernandez] can walk into a station house knowing very well what they did, and their picture was plastered all over the [neighborhood]," Horowitz said. Photos of the suspects had been snapped by a security camera in one of the robbed cabs. Both Hernandez and Gavin admitted to robbing the cabbies, police said ? but each said it was the other's idea.
