TURTLE BAY — A woman was robbed at gunpoint for $20 on Wednesday night, police said.

Two men initially entered Ji Li Tui-Na Center, a massage parlor located at 151 E. 57th St., at about 8:34 p.m. on Jan. 15, showed a gun to an employee and demanded cash, police said.

They fled the store without taking any money, police said.

About 20 minutes later, the same suspects approached a 26-year-old woman who was walking near East 50th Street and Second Avenue.

One of them showed her a gun and demanded cash before taking off with $20, police said.

None of the victims were hurt.

Police described one suspect as between 25 and 30-years-old who was last seen wearing a blue shirt with a black jacket.

The other was a 25 to 30-year-old man wearing a black jacket and a black and white hat with the word “New York” written on it.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
