BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A Bed-Stuy deli was robbed at gunpoint with store clerks forced to lie on the ground as three thieves raided the register, police said.
The bandana-clad men entered Easy Deli at 186 Stuyvesant Ave., near Quincy Street, roughly 11 p.m. on Nov. 5 with hoods covering their heads, according to police.
Two of the suspects pulled out guns and ordered the deli employees, a 25-year-old and 53-year-old, to get on the floor, officials said.
The thieves then took an iPhone 5 belonging to one of the victims from behind the counter, along with $1,000 from the store’s register, police said.
They fled south along Stuyvesant Avenue, according to police.
Police released surveillance photos of the suspects. They are described as 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, with two wearing light-colored hooded sweatshirts and another wearing a dark-colored hooded-sweatshirt.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
