NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are searching for three men between the ages of 20 and 25 who they believe are responsible for two different robberies in May.
The first robbery took place on May 2 when three men entered a convenience store at 3rd Avenue near 100th Street by Washington Housing Playground in East Harlem around 11:35 p.m.
One of the men held down the store clerk while the others took cash from the register, vapes and CBD edibles.
The men fled southbound with their haul. No one was injured.
A little over two weeks later, the trio hit a second store in Midtown East, according to police.
On May 18 around 10:25 p.m. three men entered a smoke shop on First Avenue near E 55th Street.
There they stole two boxes of cannabis edibles worth about $3,000 and fled.
No one was injured during this robbery either.
Police are asking anyone with information on the robberies to contact the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Anonymous tips can also be submitted at the Crime Stoppers Website or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
