QUEENS — At least two men have repeatedly burglarized the same Flushing building during a 3-month stretch, according to police.
A pair of men first smashed through the glass front door of 16 Express Drug Store in the New York Food Court building at 133-35 Roosevelt Ave. around 8:30 p.m. on March 25, an NYPD spokeswoman said. They then stole $500 out of the cash register.
Two men then struck on April 10 at 2:09 a.m., also at the food court, by smashing through the glass of a side door. They stole about $5,677 from several food vendors, police said.
On May 6 around 3 a.m., one of the men threw a “large metal object” through the front door of the food court and made off with $1,668 from an unknown business, according to the NYPD.
Less than two weeks later, around 6 p.m. on May 17, one of the men struck another nearby location, shattering the front door of the Waland Trading Corp at 41-33 College Point Blvd. Police said the man fled without removing any property.
On Monday around 11: 50 p.m., the pair went back to the food court building and again smashed the glass door of 16 Express Drug Store with a rock, police said. They stole an undisclosed amount of money and fled west on Roosevelt Avenue.
A call to the food court was not immediately answered.
