QUEENS — A pair of burglars who have robbed the same Flushing food court multiple times stole more than $70,000 from another nearby business on Friday, according to police.
The two men were seen on video breaking into Flushing Stone & Kitchen Depot at 131-25 41st Ave. at about 12:15 a.m. on June 17, the NYPD said. They then removed a safe containing $72,000 and wheeled it away from the building in a shopping cart, according to security footage
Worker Chun Ying Hu, 28, said the men smashed a window on the side of the building to get inside.
