NEW YORK CITY — Cops are on the lookout for two suspects wanted for the robberies of a parking lot and a Chinese restaurant in the Bronx.

The two men held up the the Five Brothers parking lot at 1740 Andrews Ave., at about 2 a.m. on Sunday, drawing a handgun on the clerk and running off with an undetermined amount of cash, the NYPD said.

Police have connected the incident with the May 4 robbery of the China Wang restaurant at 1343 Ogden Ave., in Highbridge, in which two men drew a silver handgun on the clerk before fleeing on foot at about 9:20 p.m.

The gunman in the parking lot robbery wore a black baseball cap, black letterman jacket, and black pants, according to security pictures released by cops.

The other suspect donned a black hoodie and covered his face with a black bandana, pictures showed.
