"Newly released surveillance video shows how one of several overnight store robberies unfolded, and investigators say the same group may be behind all of them. The video obtained by News 12 comes from a store at 125 Kingston Ave. It shows two masked men walking up to the counter. One holds out a plastic bag, pointing it like a gun. The worker opens the register and places cash into an open bag."
"Jan. 5, just after 1:15 a.m. - A store on Kingston Avenue in Bed-Stuy was hit. One person showed a knife while others took about $300 and small items like rolling papers and smoking cones before running off. Jan. 16, around 4 a.m. - Another store near Kingston Avenue and Bergen Street was targeted. The group acted like they had guns and took about $200. A fourth person was waiting outside."
Surveillance video from a store at 125 Kingston Ave shows two masked men approaching a counter, one holding a plastic bag and pointing it like a gun while the worker opens the register and places cash into the bag. That incident is one of three overnight robberies this month during late-night or early-morning hours when stores are quieter. Photos and video show four people investigators seek to identify; some are masked and the same individuals appear in footage from all three scenes. On Jan. 5 a Bed-Stuy store lost about $300 and small items after one person displayed a knife. On Jan. 16 a store near Kingston Avenue and Bergen Street lost about $200 as the group acted like they had guns, with a fourth person waiting outside; less than an hour later a New Lots Avenue store in East New York was robbed by three people who left with about $300. No injuries were reported and the NYPD requests tips at 1-800-577-TIPS.
