One of the wanted crooks placed the gun at the victim’s side while the other forcibly removed their belongings, police said.
Later that evening, at 6:25 p.m., police from the 83rd Precinct in Brooklyn received a report of a robbery inside a commercial business near Irving Avenue and Menahan Street, in Bushwick.
Police said a 24-year-old store employee was confronted by one of the perps inside the store, while the other suspect went behind the counter and stole the money from the register.
