Inwood Smokeshop Robbed At Gunpoint Of $3K: Police

INWOOD, NY — A trio of robbers wearing all black and brandishing guns robbed an Inwood smoke shop Thursday night of thousands of dollars, police said.

The trio, all wielding guns, walked into a smoke shop at 527 W. 207th St. about 11:30 p.m., police said.

The group demanded money from the register and eventually took $3,000, police said.

The trio then fled in a car, police said.

There were no injuries and there have been no arrests as of Friday morning, police said.

Police specified that the business robbed was a smoke shop, but the only business that comes up on Google for the given address is Vega Real, which appears to have closed.

Google Maps images for the location only goes back until 2021, though, meaning that it might not have a record of a recently opened smoke shop.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
