UPDATE: 7-Eleven Robber On Crime Spree
The crook who robbed a 7-Eleven earlier this week is wanted for hitting up four other businesses across Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend.
News 12 is reporting that the wanted man is cutting a path of crime through the area, robbing bodegas and convenience stores. His first target was a different 7-Eleven located at 133 Avenue U, which he robbed on April 15. Three days later he hit up the Universal Grocery store on the same street, hauling in close to $1,000 according to the store’s owner. He then returned to rob the same 7-Eleven (133 Avenue U) this past Saturday before striking the 7-Eleven located at 2702 Knapp Street in Sheepshead Bay.
