NEW YORK, NY – Detectives with the 6th Police Precinct are investigating a brazen robbery that took place in Downtown Manhattan on Tuesday.

At around 4:00 p.m., a business located at 90 West Houston Street fell victim to a daring robbery involving four unidentified male individuals.

According to the NYPD, one of the suspects, concealing what appeared to be a firearm beneath his sweater, targeted a 19-year-old male employee, brandishing the simulated weapon while demanding property.

In a coordinated effort, three other individuals reached over a glass partition, seizing approximately $1,400 worth of merchandise from the store counter.

The suspects then exited the business and fled the area in a dark-colored Honda sedan, heading westbound on West Houston Street.

No injuries were reported.
