BRONX - A pair of robbers stuck up a Crosby Avenue electronics store at “gunpoint” and ran off with garbage bags full of phones and video game consoles, cops said. The robbery was captured on store surveillance video. 




At around 6:30 pm on October 23, two men walked into an electronics store at 1772 Crosby Avenue. Store surveillance video shows the pair walk behind the counter and simulated having a gun. After the clerk opened the register to reveal no cash, the crooks pushed him into a corner of the store off camera. 





Then the video shows the two robbers stuff black garbage bags with cellphones and video game consoles before walking out of the store. 






The first suspect is described as a male with a medium complexion and a mustache. He was last seen wearing a light colored hoodie with the words “OFF” printed vertically and horizontally inside a circle on the right breast pocket. He also wore a dark knit cap. 





The second suspect has a dark complexion and a mustache. He wore a dark hoodie with a green camo design on the left sleeve and the right size of the hood. The other sleeve and side of the hoodie was a solid color. He also wore dark sweatpants and dark sneakers.
