BRONX - A pair of gunmen robbed a Baychester gas station of cash and cigarettes at gunpoint and the whole incident was caught on camera. 


At around midnight on December 15, two men walked into a gas station at 1945 Bartow Avenue just outside Co-op City. Surveillance video caught one of the men pulling out a handgun as they entered the store. 




One man held the employee at bay while pointing the gun at him. The other went behind the counter and removed $1,900 from the till. He then took out a black garbage bag and began stuffing it with packs of cigarettes. Cops say they stole about $1,100 worth of smokes. 




The robbers then fled on foot. 


No one was injured. Both men wore dark clothing and facemarks.
