An attempted stickup over a so-called "cryptocurrency ledger" rattled a Forest Hills corner on June 29, when three armed men approached a 49-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman near 70 Road and 110 Street at about 8:15 p.m., according to police.

The city’s Crime Stoppers account posted a wanted bulletin on July 9 describing the June 29 confrontation, stating the suspects were armed and demanded a "cryptocurrency ledger." Investigators included still photos of the three people of interest and said the attackers ultimately walked away empty-handed, without getting any of the victims' property. The alert urges anyone with information or video from that time frame to come forward, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to $3,500 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment, and says tipsters can remain anonymous. People can call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish speakers, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), or send an online tip through the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers portal. The program, administered by the New York City Police Foundation, does not require callers to identify themselves, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers.

Part Of A Growing Pattern Of Crypto-Targeted Crimes

Crimes that target physical access to cryptocurrency, often called "wrench attacks," have climbed in recent years, with security firms documenting more violent attempts to force victims into surrendering wallets or private keys. Experts say 2025 marked a notable spike in such coercion cases, prompting calls for multisig setups and tighter operational security. The phenomenon has become an escalating concern, according to CertiK.

Police are asking residents and businesses along 70 Road and 110 Street to review doorbell, building and dash‑camera footage from the night of June 29 and to share anything that might show the trio or their movements. No arrests have been announced and detectives say the investigation remains active, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers.

Anyone with relevant information can also contact their local precinct; tipsters whose information leads to an arrest and indictment may be eligible for a reward, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers. Investigators say they continue to review footage and follow up on leads from the community.
