BRONX - Five men decided to go trick or treating on Halloween in a Bronx bodega with a gun. Now cops are searching for the crew with new photos.


The NYPD released surveillance video of the five suspects who struck at the Aden Deli/Grocery on Eastchester Road in the Valley. 


At around 6:30 pm on Halloween, the five men in their 20s, walked into the bodega. One of the crew pulled out a gun and demanded property. Apparently the bodega clerk did not have what they were looking for because the men fled the store empty handed. 








Cops say the robbers then piled into a four-door Hyundai and took off.


 Police released the surveillance video of the robbery. The only descriptions investigators is that the members varied in age from 18 to their 20s.
