Greenpoint Dunkin' Donuts Robber On The Loose

An NYPD handout of the criminal, seen here with a gun partly visible in his right hand

Cops are searching for a man who brazenly robbed a Greenpoint Dunkin' Donuts this week and escaped unscathed, with a pile of cash (though strangely, no crullers). The crime took place on Monday shortly before 9:30 p.m. at the DD on McGuinness Boulevard near the Pulaski Bridge. A man "approached the counter, pulled a black handgun, ordered the cashier to open the register, grabbed an undetermined amount of money from it and fled in a black car," according to police. No one was injured.

The cops describe the man as being in his late 20s, Hispanic, about five-foot-nine, wearing a Yankees cap, black sweatshirt, black vest, grey sweatpants and white sneakers. They are asking anyone with information to contact the Department's Crime Stoppers. Interestingly, this is the same DD that was robbed in September, in a similar fashion—please, Greenpoint, please help find these criminals, before they discover Peter Pan Donuts.

Another lowlife drug addict looking for money to score his shit. Get cleaned up, asshole or die.

Don't you mean "Hipster Greenpoint Dunkin' Donuts Robber On The Loose"? Or does he not qualify since he's Hispanic and didn't go to Oberlin?

If I owned a place like this I would for sure keep a big stack of fake money under the counter, with the word FAIL subtly dispersed all over the bill.

It is, if you walk by that Dunkin Donuts in the daytime there is always one or two cops getting something to eat.

Idiot. If you're going to rob a doughnut place in Greenpoint, it should obviously be Peter Pan.

He couldn't have done that easily at Peter Pan on Manhattan Avenue - too many witnesses on the street and too much traffic for a speedy getaway. Another reason McGuinness Boulevard sucks.
