CLINTON HILL — A cellphone store employee was duct taped and struck in the face with a bag of stolen phones by a trio of armed men who robbed the Myrtle Avenue shop, police said.
The suspects entered the T-Mobile store at 436 Myrtle Ave. at 5:40 p.m. on Feb. 16 and pulled out a gun, police said.
The men held the employees in the back of the store, with one of the suspects duct-taping one of the workers, a police report said.
The suspects then stole an undetermined amount of cellphones and cash, police said.
Before leaving, one of the robbers struck the employee who had been taped in the head with a bag of the stolen phones, cutting the worker's face, police said.
The suspects rushed into a tan-colored van waiting for them on Waverly Avenue that drove southbound, police said.
