The NYPD is searching for two men who allegedly robbed a bodega at gunpoint last weekend in the Unionport section of the Bronx.

According to police, the heist went down April 9 around 9 p.m. when two men wearing ski masks entered a bodega at 1950 Cross Bronx Expressway. Suddenly, one-man allegedly pulled out a gun and told the cashier to give him money.

Fearing for his life, the employee forked over $800, and the perps fled the scene in a gray four door SUV last seen travelling eastbound on the Cross Bronx Expressway service road.
