Perhaps he has a sweet tooth.
Police are looking for a man who allegedly held up a candy store in the Bronx at gunpoint twice in recent days.
The suspect allegedly entered Family 2 Candy, located at East 170th Street by College Avenue, at around 2 p.m. on Saturday, displayed a firm arm and demanded cash, police said. An employee handed the man around $160, police said, before he exited the store on foot eastbound.
Two days later, on Monday, the same man came back to the East 170th Street candy store at around 11:15 p.m., displayed a gun and took $200, cops said.
There were no injuries in either incident.
Anyone with information in regard to these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
