The Jewish Future Alliance is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for a reported robbery at Railroad Pizza on the evening of Monday, May 8. The incident occurred at 227 Kingston Ave. in Brooklyn.
The robbery took place at approximately 11:00pm after the store owner had closed the shop and was preparing for an event the following day.
Two perpetrators entered the store through an open sidewalk cellar grate. They claimed to have guns and proceeded to hold up the owner, forcing him to lie face down on the floor for nearly ten minutes.
During this time, they emptied his pockets and stole both his phone and credit card.
"These perpetrators knew what they were doing and exhibited sophistication, wearing gloves and masks," said Rabbi Yaacov Behrman, Founder of the Jewish Future Alliance.
"Such brazen behavior should shock every New Yorker. We need to unite as New Yorkers to protect our city. If you recognize the perpetrators, please report it to the NYPD. We all love New York City and have a responsibility to keep it safe."
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
