NEW YORK (PIX11) — A man hit a worker with a wrench during one of three violent smoke shop robberies in Manhattan and the Bronx, police said.
The suspect pretended to have a gun while threatening a 30-year-old worker in a smoke shop at 3007 Third Ave. in the Bronx at around 11:40 p.m. on Sept. 24, according to the NYPD. The victim hid in the bathroom while the suspect stole $200 from the store, police said.
In the second incident, the robber attacked a worker, 26, with a wrench at a smoke shop at 974 Amsterdam Ave. on the Upper West Side at around 1:40 a.m. on Nov. 13, police said. The worker was hit in the hand and treated at the scene. The suspect stole $500 before running away, officials said.
A few days later, the robber threatened to shoot a 20-year-old employee at a smoke shop at 3645 Bruckner Blvd. in the Bronx before taking $200 from the register and running off, police said.
There have been no arrests.
