QUEENS - Cops are looking for four men dressed in black who stuck up two grocery stores and a gas station in one night.


Cops said in each case three of the men dressed in black hoodies and black pants robbed the store while a fourth member stays outside and acts as a lookout.



The robbery streak kicked off at 9:30 pm on September 1 in Hillcrest. Three members of the crew walked into Double Deli approached a 60-year-old employee.





Cops said one of the robbers stuck an object into the clerk’s back claiming to have a gun and demanded that he open the cash register. The worker complied and the two other crew members ran behind the counter and removed cash from the register. Cops said the group ran off with $1,000. No one was injured.





The same crew struck a short time later at Express Deli on Parsons Boulevard. Three of the robbers entered the store as one acted as a lookout. One of the crew approached a 27-year-old store employee and simulated that he had a gun. The other crew members went behind the counter and removed $800 cash.


In the last robbery for the night the crew struck a gas station in Kew Garden Hills. Cops said the three crooks walked into the Gulf gas station at 141-50 Union Turnpike. One of the crooks approached a 40-year-old employee and simulated that he had a gun. The other two crooks went behind the counter and rummaged through the register removing $3,000 in cash.





Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

  Here’s a guide to the policies that together define a “sanctuary city” — and what that could mean during a potential mass deportation effort. This article originally appeared in The City. By  Gwynne Hogan ,  Rachel Holliday Smith , and  Rachel Kahn NEW YORK - Throughout the election, Donald Trump promised to enact an unprecedented campaign of mass deportations , saying he wants to remove “as many as 20 million” people from the United States during his second administration. A trio of early personnel choices — Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for homeland security secretary and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Tom Homan as “border czar” — indicate that the incoming president is very serious about following through with his pledge. In New York, advocates have called for Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams to institute policies that protect immigrants within New York’s borders before T...
