Police need the public’s help in finding three men who robbed a Flushing spa at knifepoint this week.

Law enforcement sources said the caper took place at 5:15 p.m. on May 21 inside the Golden Prince Spa located at 33-70 Prince St.

According to authorities, the three unidentified male suspects walked into the business and approached two female employees, ages 29 and 31. One of the bandits displayed a knife and held it at the 29-year-old woman’s throat and demanded cash, while the other suspects restrained the 31-year-old woman.

The perpetrators proceeded to steal $700 in cash and three iPhones, then fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction, police said.

Officers from the 109th Precinct responded to the robbery; neither woman was injured.

On May 23, police released security camera footage showing the suspects walking near the spa just before the heist occurred.
