Four armed men to rob a children’s clothing store? Did they confuse it for one of the many banks on 13th?
they probably did think it was a bank it is a nice looking store from the outside
One suspect aprehended at 10th ave 38street
Yea, lets go rob a bank at 9:45 PM
Did they get away with money?
The recovered weapon was a BB or Pellet gun.
They needed an emergency holiday outfit..
The four men may be idiots but the fact that they came into this area armed is no joke!
Unfortunately, we can expect more such robberies, as the economy falls apart, and people become desperate.

You want the maaser from the money ?
The pictures are not consistent with the article. Were the suspects arrested? The pics show men being arrested in front of the store…
