Shocking Video Shows LES Bodega Robbed At Gunpoint

LOWER EAST SIDE, NY — Three men robbed a Lower East Side bodega at gunpoint on Saturday night, shocking surveillance footage shows.

Police said that the group of three went to the LES Mini Mart & Grocery, located at 127 Rivington St., on Saturday at about 10 p.m. Two men went inside the store while a third stayed outside and served as a lookout, police said.

The two men inside approached the 39-year-old clerk while holding guns, surveillance video from the store shows. One gunman walks behind the counter in the video while the clerk moves backwards in fright, the footage shows.

The man took about $600 in cash plus several boxes of cigarettes before running way from the store on foot with the other two robbers, according to the NYPD.

None of the three men have been arrested by police. Authorities released their photos on Sunday and are asking for the public's help in identifying them.
