Police say the masked man who added a bottle of Hennessy to his loot of stolen cash and electronics last month in the Bronx has been linked to half a dozen more robberies.
The thirsty robber made off with $3,300, phones and the bottle of Hennessy on Nov. 26 after holding an employee up with a handgun at DeStern Wines and Spirits on Allerton Avenue.
According to police, the man also held up an employee at Nicks Drug Store on Boston Road on Nov. 10. The employee handed over $450 in cash.
After that, on Nov. 16, he robbed the 437 Delicatessen on Manhattan Avenue of $150 and stole $300 from an employee’s pants pockets, police said.
He struck again just a day later, targeting Los Primos Deli Grocery on Crotona Avenue. He got away with an unknown amount of cash.
On the morning of Dec. 1, he ran off empty handed after trying to rob the Rite Aid on East Gun Hill Road. But just an hour later, he walked into the IBB Deli on East 182nd Street and, like in the other robberies, held an employee up at gunpoint. Police say he got away with $900 in cash and 202 lottery tickets.
His most recent robbery was on Sunday, when he pulled his gun on an employee at Country Thyme Cuisine and stole $350 in cash from the register and $80 from the employee.
