New York Racing Association (NYRA) employees were transporting the cash from office from the third floor where cash is counted, to Queens facility. On the way from the second floor to the first-floor, employees were taken to the nearby room by the gunmen and were asked to hand over the cash and their cell phones on gunpoint. Robbers wearing surgical mask were not discovered after reaching the first floor through elevators.
Some from inside was involved: Employee
One of the employees claimed that someone from the inside is involved in the robbery by stating, "How did they know exactly where they bring the money down? The exact route from upstairs to the vault downstairs? It had to be someone familiar with the procedure here."
New York Police Department is still searching for two suspects who robbed $250,000 from three unarmed employees with no harm. Robbers left through Turf and Field entrance on the south side of Aqueduct complex where there are no cameras. In a recent case, four masked crooks fled away with hundreds of dollars worth of booze from a liquor store at Queens on Monday.
