What do you expect from a writer named "Hack" ? :)

How do you rob rum? Or do you think they meant, "Three robbed a liquor store and stole some rum? So confusing.

Details???

The thieves were caught! Waiting for more details!

Actually the police are in possession of video. I wouldn't be surprised that these geniuses are caught shortly. I know the owner of the store.

Below is the link to the online JJ piece about the robbery in case you thought I was making it up.
(but if I was making it up the guy with the gun would have been in a clown suit.)

No new information but now it is online.

Yea and nice description of the actors. If this happened anywhere else in the city I'm sure the description would be down to a T like last week how a witness knew what a hitandrun driver was wearing, even the type of pants he had on and underwear.

@Heights...Columbus and Varick

What was the cross street of the liquor store ?

(it's my party and I will rob if I want to...right Mayor H?)


3 rob rum, armed with gun and balloons.

Three people robbed rum at gunpoint from a liquor store Friday. They appeared ready from a party, reports said.

Police were called to a liquor store at Varick Street at 4:44 p.m. on a report of a robbery, where they met the 45-year-old store manager who said she was robbed by two men and a woman, reports said.

The manager told police that the woman was holding colored helium balloons and a boxed birthday cake, police reports said. One of the men pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and demanded a gallon of Bacardi citrus rum, reports said. The three left the store reports said.
