Gunmen Hold Up East Elmhurst Sunoco, Flee With Just $30: NYPD

EAST ELMHURST, QUEENS -- Two gunmen escaped with just $30 after holding up an East Elmhurst gas station, police said.

Cops are searching for the two men, who rolled up to the Sunoco Gas Station at 88-20 Astoria Blvd. in a BMW M3 at around 2:55 a.m. on Feb. 17.

Once inside, the duo pulled out guns on the gas attendant and demanded cash, police told Patch.

But $30 was all the two thieves got before fleeing the gas station, hopping into their luxury vehicle and speeding away down Astoria Boulevard, an NYPD spokeswoman said.
