Two bandits wearing protective surgical masks Snatch $250,000 from New York City Racetrack Guards

New York’s Aqueduct Racetrack was the site of a brazen, late-night robbery of more than $250,000 by two bandits wearing protective surgical masks Saturday. Questions are surfacing if it was an inside job, according to local news reports.

The robbers, both armed with pistols, approached three New York Racing Association (NYRA) employees who were taking the money through a corridor in the Queens, New York racetrack, AM New York Metro reported, based on police statements.

The unarmed security guards and an employee were moving the money between the first and second floors of the racetrack clubhouse, news reports said. The bandits forced the employees to a vacant room where the cash and workers’ cellphones were stolen, AM New York added.

6. The story is dated March 8th

Schools didn't close until the 11th. The track closed the 19th. Casinos closed in that time period too.

4. Back when Mt. Saint Helen blew up

7. It sounds like an inside job.

Someone who knew when they transferred money to another floor. IMO.

8. This Bonny/Clyde thing will soon become much more prevalent.

Fasten your seat-belts, have your crash helmets handy.

9. Saw a scary guy

at Costco today. Young man with a scarf up to his eyes and a hat covering his forehead. He was wearing a big coat. If I was in a bank I would have left.
