Police seek two in bank robberies

FLUSHING — Police were seeking the public's help in arresting two men who robbed the same Flushing Exxon gas station in May and again earlier this month.

One of the men was armed with a kitchen knife during the robberies while the other took cash from the register, police said.

The Exxon station at, 29-16 Francis Lewis Blvd., was robbed around 4:56 a.m. May 15 and July 17 around 2:30 a.m., police said. Two different clerks were working the register both times, authorities said.

The first suspect was described by police as a white man in his 30s or 40s with a large build. He wore eye glasses, police said.

There was no description for the second man, police said.

Anyone with information was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. All calls are confidential.
