Video: Subway Sandwich Store Robbers Make It Look Easy

Sure, the Darth Vader bank robber and the Scream mask Dunkin' Donuts robber get all the attention with their flashy costumes, but that kind of grandstanding is no substitute for good, old fashioned thief-work. And from the looks of this surveillance video taken from a Morningside Heights Subway outlet, there are at least two guys left in this business who don't care about making headlines; they just want the satisfaction of a job well done. And all the money in the cash register:

The efficient perps are still at large. Police sources say the robbery happened Thursday night around 10 p.m.; the Daily News reports that one man is white or Hispanic, about 5-foot-10, and was wearing a dark-colored jacket, dark pants, a black mask and black-and-white gloves. The other suspect is also described as white or Hispanic and about 5-foot-10; as you can see from the video he was wearing a dark jacket and pants, a black mask and black gloves. Another important clue: one man carried a New York Sports Club bag! Yep, should be a cinch tracking down these guys.

    That was a job done by someone who had worked there at one time. You could tell by the video that one of them was familiar with the layout of the store.

    Or they just ate a sandwich there the day before. Or last week.
    You know its a recession when you have slightly intelligent people committing crimes.

    Yes, because, as we all know, each Subway has its own unique layout and decor.

    /no, not really

    Wow, a John Del Signore post that has nothing to do with the plight of bicycles or bike lanes! Shocking!
