BRONX - A pair of moped riding gunmen robbed a Soundview gas station in broad daylight, cops said. 

At around 3:50 pm on April 11, two men pulled up to the Shell gas station at 1500 Bruckner Boulevard. Cops said they walked into the mini mart at the station, displayed a handgun and removed $1,000 cash from the register. 

Cops said the robbers then hopped on the black moped, which showed signs of damage, and rode off on Bruckner Boulevard.
