LOWER EAST SIDE — Two robbers stole $10,000 at gunpoint from a Clinton Street travel agency on Tuesday, police said.
Two men wearing black bandanas pulled out handguns inside Clinton Travel Agency at 3:55 p.m. and walked towards an office partition, police said.
“This is a robbery, we want the money from the safe,” the men screamed, according to the NYPD.
Police said the thieves then held four employees at gunpoint and walked them the back office, where the company’s safe was located. One of the gunmen placed his weapon on the back of an employee’s head and demanded he open the safe, police said.
After the robbers placed about $10,000 into a black plastic bag, they ordered all employees to lie on the floor and then fled southbound on foot, according to the NYPD. Police said the men had black eyes and hair.
Clinton Travel Agency, located at 20 Clinton St., declined to comment.
