Cops are searching for three men wanted for a brazen midday robbery at a Gravesend liquor store last week.

According to the NYPD, the men entered the Warehouse Wine and Spirit Store on Avenue X, near West 3rd Street, just after 1pm on Tuesday, October 13. One of suspects simulated that he had a gun is his waistband, according to cops, and ordered the store employee into the basement. The thieves then removed several liquor bottles, worth $630, before fleeing the store.

Police describe all three suspects as black men, ages 21 to 27 years old, between 5 feet, eight inches and six feet tall, with slim builds.

The NYPD provided surveillance photos of the suspects.
