SEE IT: Bandits Rob Soho Smoke Shop At Gunpoint

SOHO, NY — Two thieves strolled into a Soho smoke shop Tuesday and robbed the joint at gunpoint, police said.

The men calmly walked into A & R News and Candy Corp. on West Houston between Sullivan and Thompson streets at about 10:30 p.m., said authorities.

One robber, who covered his face with a bright red bandana, went behind the counter, pulled a handgun out from his waistband and pressed the 60-year-old clerk against a glass display case, surveillance video shows.

The thieves removed wads of cash totaling $1,500 from the register and shoved the money into their pockets before fleeing the store — leaving a trail of bills behind them, the video shows.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
