SEE IT: Man and two young kids work together to break into Queens frozen yogurt spot
A crook with two kids in tow ended a fun outing by breaking into a frozen yogurt spot at a Queens shopping plaze, surveillance video released by cops Tuesday shows.
The robber and the two boys, who appear to be between 8 and 10, forced open a side window at Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt on Cooper Ave., part of the Shops at Atlas Park in Glendale, about 10:50 p.m. April 4, cops said.
Surveillance video shows the man prying open the window while one of the boys appears to use the flashlight feature on his cellphone to help the robber see what he’s doing. The other boy stands idly by.
Once the window opens, the adult reaches in, scoops up several items and hands them to his pint-sized accomplices. The trio ran off with the goods and have not been caught.
Cops recovered additional surveillance video showing the man and two boys going up an escalator near the frozen yogurt shop, with the two boys gleefully sliding down the railing. It’s not clear if the man and children are related.
Police released the video Tuesday and asked the public’s help identifying and tracking down the man.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
