Police released a video of two men who tried to rob the Duane Reade at 100 Delancey Street last week and even fired at the cashier.
According to police, two men entered the store at around 11 p.m. last Friday, June 15. They walked to the counter, where one man demanded money from a cashier and the other showed a gun. However, the cashier, a 21-year-old woman, refused and the first man told his armed cohort to "shoot her." The gunman then aimed at the woman and fired, but missed her. Then both men ran off. The cashier was not injured.
The first suspect, who asked for the money, is described as a Hispanic male, age 40 to 45, about 5'9" with salt-and-pepper hair, a moustache and goatee. He was wearing a blue short-sleeved jacket and white sneakers. The second suspect is described as a Hispanic male, age 40 to 45, about 5'10"-6" with dark short hair, wearing a blue baseball hat with white symbol in front and a black jacket with white shirt underneath.
