Cops continue to look for the armed bandits who robbed thousands of dollars from a Ridgewood auto wrecking company last week.

Law enforcement sources said the stickup occurred at 2:40 p.m. on Nov. 9 inside Aalba Auto Wrecking located at 152 Woodward Ave., near Flushing Avenue.

According to police, the two men confronted workers and displayed a silver firearm. They proceeded to take a payroll bag containing $20,000 in cash before fleeing the scene in a blue Chrysler 300 that was last seen heading westbound on Troutman Street.

Officers from the 104th Precinct responded to the incident. No injuries were reported.

Police described the suspects as black men with medium builds, standing between 5 feet, 8 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches tall. One of the perpetrators had a tattoo on the side of his neck.

The precinct tweeted out images of the duo on Nov. 12. Anyone with information regarding the two suspects’ whereabouts can call the 104th Precinct Detective Squad at 718-386-2723. All calls are kept confidential.
