Police Release Photos Of Bodega Robbers

Nassau police are looking for a man who robbed a bodega in Valley Stream in broad daylight Thursday morning.

According to police, the man entered the Happiness and Fortune Grocery, located at 246 North Central Ave., at 10:08 a.m. He approached the 42-year-old man working at the store, pulled out a rifle and demanded cash from the register.

The robber was about 30 years old with a slight build, 5 feet 1o inches to 6 feet tall, 150 pounds, wearing a read and white Yankee's hat.

A man with a similar description, also armed with a rifle, robbed a Dunkin' Donuts in Elmont early Wednesday morning with a female accomplice.
