The NYPD is searching for a man who robbed an Astoria deli and took off with cash from the register last month.
According to police, at 6:10 p.m. on Nov. 20, an unknown man entered the deli, located at 35-14 28th Ave., while simulating like he had a firearm in his jacket pocket. The suspect then went behind the counter and demanded money from the 48-year-old employee.
The victim complied and the suspect fled the scene westbound on 28th Avenue with $750 in cash. The employee was not injured as a result of the incident.
On Dec. 1, the NYPD released video of the suspect taken from nearby surveillance footage:
