Two crooks snatched a man’s jewelry, then shot a security guard in the foot in a Bronx gas station robbery caught on camera, police said.
The suspects strolled into the BP gas station on Webster Ave. and E. 176th St. in Mount Hope on Monday, authorities said.
Video released by Thursday police shows the pair, dressed in dark clothes and hoodies, entering the gas station just after 7 a.m.
As one suspect stands back, the other in a puffy jacket walks up to the victim, slides a magazine into his pistol and points it at his target, the footage shows.
The robbers swiped the man’s chain and bracelet, police said. As they ran off, the gunman shot at a 48-year-old security guard and struck him in the foot.
The suspects drove off in a red Mercedes-Benz sedan and are still being sought.
Anyone with information can call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
