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.
