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. Investigators believe they used the plant to wedge the door shut, possibly to prevent the employees from escaping or alerting others. The video, police say, shows the men moving swiftly throughout the salon during the robbery.
