Armed robbers steal $14,000 in cash, jewels and electronics from store in Brooklyn

NEW YORK - The NYPD is on the hunt for a trio of armed robbers who stole roughly $14,000 in goods from a store during a brazen daytime robbery in Bushwick earlier this month.

According to authorities, at around 1:20 p.m. on December 1, three male suspects entered a store on Rockaway Avenue. Once inside, two of the suspects brandished firearms and forced a 22-year-old male victim to the basement while the third suspect served as a lookout. 

The gunmen then made the 22-year-old, as well as a 34-year-old victim, lay on the floor after assaulting them with the guns, taking cash, electronics, jewelry, and merchandise valued at around $14,000 before fleeing in a white Mercedes-Benz heading south on Rockaway Avenue.
