QUEENS — Cops were looking for a pistol-packing perp who has robbed two bodegas over the last four days.

Police said the suspect walked into a Colfax Street bodega in Cambria Heights on Saturday about 1:40 p.m., hit an employee in the head with a gun and demanded money. The worker complied, and the suspect fled.

The suspect entered a Hollis Avenue deli on Monday about 7:45 p.m. and once again struck an employee over the head with a gun and fled with money, police said.

The suspect is described as 5-foot-8 and in his 20s.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
