Police are searching for a man who allegedly robbed a Woodside convenience store at gunpoint Monday night.

The suspect walked into a bodega located at 54-03 Northern Blvd at around 8:40 pm, before jumping over the counter and demanding money from a store employee, according to the NYPD.

The suspect appeared to have a firearm with a bag wrapped around it.

Woodside and Sunnyside are dangerous areas with high rents due to discrimination. Yet, the crimes are swept under the rug. Thank Councilman . He only looks to serve one group of people.
I told him years ago how bad things became.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
