Police are searching for the man who threatened to attack employees with “force” during a knifepoint robbery of a Queens Village CVS earlier this month.
Authorities say that the suspect entered a CVS located at 219-39 89th Ave., within the confines of the 105th Precinct, at approximately 6:15 p.m. on March 2. Once inside, he grabbed some merchandise and said he had a knife before threatening to attack store employees with force, police said.
