Cops nabbed five scam artists who tried to con an elderly woman out of thousands of dollars in Chinatown, authorities said.

Jun Liang, 44, Yae Chen, 46, and Xiumei He, 39, first spoke to the victim, 67, on Monday on Elizabeth Street near Bayard Street, according to a Criminal Court complaint.

Chen said she was going to see He’s grandfather, a spiritual doctor, and consult him about her family and health, sources said.

The victim was told her son would be in a bloody incident unless she brought her valuables to the doctor, the complaint states.

The woman said she had $18,000 in cash and jewelry at home and promised to bring it to Chatham Square.

Instead, she set up the fraudsters and brought a red bag containing just paper, police sources said.

A cop spotted the bag exchange and intervened—but He and Chen fled while Liang allegedly tried to ditch the bag.

The three were quickly collared.

Hua Huo Chen, 50, and Jingchang Quan, 44, were also arrested in connection with the case.

All five were charged with attempted grand larceny.

Police are looking for a man (above) wanted in a string of robberies.

The suspect struck most recently at the News and Discount Convenience Store, on First Avenue on the Upper East Side, just on May 21, cops said.

He pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money, then fled with an undisclosed sum of cash.

It’s believed the same assailant held up El-Sadiy Deli and Grocery, on West 56th Street, three days earlier, police said.

The man pretended to be purchasing groceries, then pulled a gun and demanded cash.

Police are also seeking him in four robberies that took place between Feb. 13 and March 11, cops said.

In those incidents, the suspect robbed delis and convenience stores on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side and in Chelsea, authorities said.

Police said the suspect stands about 5-foot-8 and weighs between 170 and 190 pounds.

A worker at a Chelsea tech company used his employer’s credit cards to go on a $150,000 shopping spree, authorities said.

Julio Gonzalez, 30, who worked at Blue State Digital, on West 20th Street, from October 2011 to December 2012, used the company’s two American Express cards to buy everything from video games to hiking boots, getting the goods shipped directly to his Bronx home, according to a Criminal Court complaint.

Last Oct. 24, he was allegedly seen on video taking three laptop computers from the office.

Blue State traced the credit-card transactions to Gonzalez and contacted police. He was arrested Wednesday.
