Robbers Pin Clerk to Floor, Steal Safe Containing $30K From Brooklyn Store: NYPD

Police are looking for three robbers they say pinned a clerk to the ground at a Brooklyn store Wednesday evening and stole a safe containing $30,000.

The suspects hit the electronics store in Borough Park at about 8:30 p.m., police say.

Surveillance video from the store shows one of the robbers walking into the store and tackling the 26-year-old clerk, who was sitting on a stool behind a counter.

The other two suspects then come into the store. One of the robbers helps hold the clerk down while the other grabs the safe from behind the counter.

Police say the suspects left the store once they slid the safe out of the building.

The clerk was not hurt.

Anyone with information about the robbers is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
