NYPD: Two Men Rob 7-Eleven at Gunpoint on Northern Boulevard

Dec. 20, 2017 By Tara Law

Police are looking for two masked men who allegedly robbed a Woodside 7-Eleven at gunpoint on Sunday.

The two men went inside the 61-19 Northern Boulevard store at 11:40 p.m. before one of them pointed a gun at a 46 year-old male employee and ordered him to get on the floor.

The second suspect forced another employee, a 34 year-old man, to open the cash register. He then took $300 from the register and ordered the employee to the floor.

The robbers went through the employees’ pockets and took the 34-year-old’s phone and $40 in cash. The men grabbed an unknown quantity of lottery tickets, lighters and cigarettes and took off.

The men wore blue coveralls, sunglasses, and blue gloves. One of the men wore a baseball cap and covered his face with a scarf. The other wore a black mask that covered his head and face.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477)

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
