The most recent robbery took place May 23 at 7:30 p.m., cops said, when the suspect entered the Liberty Deli, at 1090 Liberty Ave. in Ozone Park. Police said the suspect approached a store employee, 32, and demanded goods at gunpoint. Again the man fled with an unknown amount of cash and cigarettes.
