CANARSIE — Police are hunting for two men involved in the gunpoint robbery of a Radio Shack store on Saturday afternoon.

The two men entered the shop, located at 2048 Rockaway Ave., around 3:45 p.m. and ordered the staff into a back room while flashing a gun, police said.

After laying the workers down on the floor, the suspects tore through the store scooping up Apple and Samsung products, including phones, and then took off, police said.

No injuries were reported, and police released a photo of one of the suspects in the robbery.

The NYPD described both men as black and in their 20s, police said. Police ask for anyone with information to contact NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or to log onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or text tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
