A Late-Night Break-In

Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are searching for three suspects involved in a knifepoint robbery at a nail salon located at 141-43 Northern Boulevard. According to authorities, the break-in occurred on Sunday, March 22, shortly after 1 a.m., when the trio forcibly entered the shop under cover of darkness.

Caught on Camera

Surveillance footage captured the suspects placing a potted plant against the door.
