NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A robbery crew is being sought by police after a Manhattan store was robbed last week of approximately $12,000 in electronics and cash, and a worker had a knife held to his throat.

According to police, four males walked into the Stop N' Fix iPhone Repair store at 100 Clinton St. around 4 p.m. last Thursday.

A knife-wielding duo then forced their way behind the counter, and one held a knife to the victim's throat, demanding money and property. The individual then removed a wallet, keys and a cell phone from him.

A third thief used a hammer to break a display case and removed various electronics, police said.

The crew then fled with the electronics and cash.

There were no reported physical injuries as a result.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
