Detectives from the 107th Precinct in Fresh Meadows are still looking for a quartet of robbers who targeted commercial businesses across the area this month. Investigators believe they are the same crew that worked with the precision of a pit crew in ripping off three businesses in an astonishing seven minutes on the night of Friday, Sept. 1, according to the NYPD.
The crew struck again two nights later in the confines of the 109th Precinct in Flushing when the four men entered Super Deli, located at 144-10 Northern Blvd. in Murray Hill on the night of Sunday, Sept. 3.

Police say one of the men jumped over the counter and removed around $5,000 in cash from the register before they ran out of the store in an unknown direction. Once again, there were no injuries reported.
