NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Two men robbed a Brooklyn cellphone store last week making away with hundreds of dollars and store merchandise, police said.
The incident happened on Oct. 18 around 5:30 p.m. when the two thieves entered a Metro by T-Mobile store at 825 Van Siclen Avenue in East New York, authorities said.
One of the men held a gun to a 30-year-old employee’s abdomen while the other stole about $866 from the register, according to officials.
The duo then demanded the employee let them into an employee-only area where they stole the woman’s purse with about $400 inside, cops said.
Before fleeing the scene, the men grabbed three cellphones from the store’s merchandise. The victim refused medical attention at the scene for minor injuries.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
