NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A smoke shop worker was pistol-whipped during a brazen Bedford-Stuyvesant robbery, police said Thursday as they released video of the armed suspects ransacking the store.
According to police, the two men entered the Cloud Zone Hookah smoke shop on 539 Nostrand Ave. on Tuesday around 10:15 p.m. and demanded cash, brandishing their guns.
The bandits then went behind the counter, where one of the men pistol-whipped the 33-year-old victim before forcibly taking roughly $900 from the register, a safe containing an unspecified amount of cash, and CBD cigars valued around $6,000.
Police said they then fled on foot northbound on Nostrand Avenue.
The victim sustained a laceration and redness to the head and was treated by EMS on scene.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
