CYPRESS HILLS – Police are searching for two suspects wanted in connection with an armed robbery that took place in Cypress Hills earlier this month.

On Friday, October 6, just after 1:00 am, a 31-year old man was sitting parked in his white 2017 Honda in the vicinity of Liberty Avenue and Hemlock Street, said police. Suddenly, two men jumped into his car—with a gun.

After showing the victim their weapon, the robbers relieved him of a $5,000 necklace and fled on foot, said police. The victim was left uninjured.

The two suspects can be seen in security footage below.
