Police are searching for two armed, masked robbers who held up a Floral Park convenience store Tuesday.

Two men entered the 7-Eleven at 287 Jericho Turnpike at 4:24 p.m. Dec. 22 and one demanded money while brandishing a silver automatic handgun, police said.

The other robber handed a black bag to one of the two employees present, a 47-year-old woman, and told her to put money in it.

Police said the men then fled north on Irving Avenue onto Lowell Avenue.  One customer was also in the store during the robbery, police said, but no one was hurt.

Both culprits were wearing masks, dark hooded sweatshirts, dark pants and dark gloves, police said. They’re described as black men ranging from 5-foot-9 to 6 feet tall.

Police have also reported robberies by masked suspects armed with a silver handgun at three banks in New Hyde Park, Garden City Park and Greenvale in the past week.

Officers are investigating possible links between the crimes, police said, but have not determined whether they’re connected.

Anyone with information about the robberies can call 1-800-244-8477 to leave an anonymous tip.
