BRONX - Police are looking for a trio of brazen gunmen who robbed a bodega a few blocks away from a Bronx police station.





Investigators released surveillance video taken from inside the grocery store that shows the gunmen waving their weapons as they entered the corner store and were visible to passersby on the street. The gunmen walked into the store wearing dark clothing, hoods and masks.  


At around 11:15 pm on April 26, three men burst into the Laconia Deli Grocery, five blocks away from the 47th Precinct stationhouse. Surveillance video shows two of the three men waving guns.





One of the gunmen walked up to the cashier behind the counter and demanded money. The clerk complied and handed over $955 in cash. The robbers then ran out of the store and fled on foot eastbound on East 224th Street. 




No shots were fired and no one was injured.  



Cops have a vague description of all three suspects who hid their identity behind masks and hoods. Each robbery suspect is described as a male between the ages of 17 and 25. Each was last seen wearing dark clothing. 





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). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 



All calls are strictly confidential.
