Police are searching for two men who allegedly posed as police and robbed a spa in Rego Park last month.

Two unidentified individuals entered 8151 Spa, located at 85-51 Eliot Ave., on April 18 at about 10:30 a.m, authorities say. Once inside, one of the individuals said he was a police officer and demanded the money, police said.

The two then took $1,900 in cash as well as three cellphones, according to police.

They then left in a gray, four-door Ford Focus westbound on Eliot Avenue toward 85th Street.

Police released a surveillance video of the incident.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of the suspects is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 888-57-PISTA (74782).
