Queens 7-Eleven Robbed At Gunpoint: NYPD

WOODSIDE, QUEENS -- The NYPD is searching for two men who robbed a Queens 7-Eleven at gunpoint, making off with $300 from the cash register and an employee's phone and money.

One of the men walked into a 7-Eleven in Woodside, at 61-19 Northern Blvd., and whipped out a handgun on a 46-year-old employee at around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, police said. The other man then forced another employee, 34, to open the cash register and grabbed $300 before ordering the employee to get on the floor.

Cops said the suspects then rummaged through the 34-year-old employee's pockets, taking his cell phone and $40 in cash. The two then swiped lottery tickets, lighters and cigarettes before bolting in an unknown direction, authorities said.

The NYPD released surveillance photos of both men, who were shown wearing blue coveralls, sunglasses and blue gloves. One man covered his face with a baseball cap and scarf, while the other covered his head and face with a black mask.

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