The next three targets were pharmacies in both boroughs, each hit by a team of four unidentified individuals. The robbers were able to steal prescription pills valued at $30,000 from the EZ RX Pharmacy in Bay Ridge, the same night as the Payomatic hit.
Police say their second pharmacy break-in, at Health Quest RX Pharmacy in Astoria, was a bust. After the group came up empty in Astoria, they headed back to Brooklyn, to Corner Pharmacy in Williamsburg where they stole an unknown amount of drugs, police say.
The same night as the Williamsburg robbery, March 26, police say the group struck Haideri Pann & Cigarette in Jackson Heights. The group is accused of smashing the bodega's front door and stealing an ATM with $5,000 inside.
