Post Office Employees Robbed at Gun Point

(Brooklyn-WABC, November 15, 2005) (WABC) -- Employees of a Brooklyn post office were tied up by a pair of armed robbers this morning who got away with two bags bulging with cash.

Police say the robbers burst into the James E. Davis United States Post Office at 315 Empire Boulevard sometime after 5:00 a.m. and announced the robbery. The employees were tied up and held at gunpoint while the two bandits filled mail bags with cash.

The two suspects fled with the duffel bags, containing an unknown amount of cash. They fled the scene and authorities are looking for them.

Eyewitness News has learned the employees were not injured. The post office branch was closed at the time of the robbery.

The branch, which serves zip code 11225, was named after Councilman James Davis, who was murdered in the City Council chambers in 2003.
