NYPD: Worker Duct Taped To Chair During Robbery At Bronx AT&T Store

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Police are looking for two men who they said duct taped an employee to a chair and raided an AT&T stock room in the Bronx.

The robbery occurred last Thursday morning as the worker was opening the store on East 204th Street in Norwood, police said.

The two armed suspects forced the worker to disable the alarm system and then restrained him, police said. The worker was not hurt.

The pair got away with 38 iPhones and the employee's phone, police said.

A getaway driver picked them up in a burgundy Jeep SUV, according to investigators.
