Flatbush Money Bag Thefts: $12.5K Stolen From McDonald's & Office

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — Police are looking for thieves who walked away with bags full of money they stole from a Flatbush McDonald’s parking lot and law office.

Two men stormed the McDonald’s parking lot at 5804 Clarendon Road around 11:45 a.m. on Nov. 20 and demanded a 55-year-old man hand over his bag, which contained about $10,000 cash, police said.

When the 55-year-old refused to hand over the cash, one man pulled out a gun, and the man complied, said police.

Surveillance footage shows the thieves — dressed in black jackets and hoodies — stomping away with the cash before returning to grab the man’s cellphone and watch.

Ten days later, a man burst into a law office at 1431 Nostrand Ave. and snatched a bag with $2,500 cash inside it around 11:50 a.m. on Nov. 30, police said.

The law office thief wore a black baseball cap, grey hoodie, red jacket, camouflage pants and white sneakers, said police.

It was not immediately known whether the two incidents were related, police said.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact police.
