NY1 Exclusive: Bronx Bodega Owners Terrorized By Armed Robbers

The New York City Police Department is searching for the suspects involved in a string of robberies in the University Heights section of the Bronx.

All seven of the incidents have occurred at bodegas.

Police say in each case, two men walk into the bodega, one pulls out a shotgun, the other a handgun, and they demand cash.

The first robbery occurred in early January and the most recent took place on February 28.

Workers say the sight of a shotgun is terrifying.

"They put everybody on the ground," said bodega owner Anthony Espinal. "They put a pistol up to my father and they yelled, 'Where the money at? Where the money at?' My father said, 'Take it. Take all the money.'"

"The guy said, 'I need all the money from the store,'" recalled Manuel Diaz, another store owner. "They took the money. They used plastic bags. They put the money in the bags."

No serious injuries have been reported, but one store worker was hit in the head by the robber's shotgun.

Many of the bodegas have sophisticated surveillance systems so police are pouring over video tapes to identify those responsible.

Anyone with information should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit

'My People' and the American People Eric Holder Serves
M Catharine Evans

House Republicans need to put another item on their to-do list: ask Attorney General Eric Holder for his resignation ASAP.


Two years ago he insulted every American when he called us "a nation of cowards." Yesterday in front of a House Appropriations Committee Hearing he all but admitted he's not about to honor the Pledge of Allegiance's promise of "justice for all." Holder brought his $28.2 billion budget request before the lawmakers and got to witness just how willing some people are to have a discussion about race.


The un-cowardly Texas Rep. John Culberson called Holder out on the DOJ's reverse racism regarding the New Black Panther Party's intimidation of white voters in Philadelphia on Election Day in 2008:


"There is clearly evidence-overwhelming evidence-that your Department of Justice refuses to protect the rights of anybody other than African-Americans to vote."

The congressman questioned whether the race of the members of the anti-white fringe group played a role in the department's 2009 decision to dismiss most of a civil lawsuit against them.

Culberson pressed on quoting the former Democratic poll watcher, Bartle Bull who described the NBP's actions as "the most blatant form of voter intimidation he had ever seen."  That brought out the worst in Holder who then made Culberson's case for him:


Think about that...When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate. . .  to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people.

"My people?" Holder needs to go.
