BRONX - Is even getting a late night burger at a food truck dangerous? Cops are looking for three men who stuck up a man near a food truck in the Bronx. Two other suspects were seen in the getaway vehicle. 




At around 1 am on January 29, a 30-year-old man was standing near a food truck at Cross Bronx Expressway and Webster Avenue when a blue Honda SUV pulled up. Three men got out and walked over to the man. 


Police are searching for these men in connection with an armed robbery near a Bronx food truck.


One of the trio pulled out a gun while the rest ripped jewelry off the victim and rifled through his pockets. They removed $95 in cash. The robbers then piled back into the car where two other accomplices were waiting. 

Cops say the SUV peeled off and headed eastbound on the Cross Bronx Expressway and turned southbound onto Park Avenue. 


The victim was not injured.





Police released surveillance video of the robbers. One of the suspects is seen wearing a bright blue bubble jacket with blue jogging pants with a white design on the legs and blue and white Nike sneakers.  


The gunman is seen wearing a black hoodie with script writing across the chest. He covered his head and face in a black balaclava with a white Nike logo above the left temple. He was seen on the video standing next to the SUV cocking a handgun.
