NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are looking to identify a man and woman wanted for robbing a Manhattan smoke shop over the weekend, authorities said.
Just before 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 22, two suspects acting in concert entered a smoke shop located at 317 10th Ave. in Chelsea and stole marijuana before attempting to leave the store without payment, the NYPD said.
Both suspects were unable to leave due to the door self-locking after entry, officials said.
One of the suspects then approached the 24-year-old shop employee and pushed her before removing additional marijuana and fleeing the location.
The two suspects were last seen traveling northbound on 10th Avenue on foot.
The shop employee was uninjured, cops said.
The first suspect is a man with black and fading neon green hair. He was last seen wearing a black jacket with white stripes, black pants with white stripes, and black and white sneakers.
The second suspect is a woman who was last seen wearing a black cropped shirt with the letter “B” on the front, black pants, and black sneakers. She was also seen carrying a black purse.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
