An employee of the bowling alley had just walked out Maple Lanes’ back door, on 60th Street near 16th Avenue, at about 4 p.m. Wednesday when the gunmen forced him back inside, police sources said.
The thieves rounded up the four employees in the place, ordered them to lie face down on the floor, and proceeded to bind their hands with duct tape, the sources said.
The cash had been collected earlier in the day as proceeds for three bowling leagues.
I guess I’m in the wrong business. 80k ? bowling alley? Is Bowling back in style?
Isn’t this next door to the 66
Inside job
this story hapened a couple of days back, why are they posting it now??
Sounds like an inside job.
Has to be an inside job that they should know that exactly at that time all the accumalated cash would be there. They will be caught.
start with the guy who opened the back door. Then ask them each individually to think about which one seemed most calm during the hold-up. You’ll figure it out quick.
Definitely an inside job. You don’t have to be a Chacham to know this.
it’s a nice place to go bowling.
might not be an inside job
people know that that night was the night when the league teams pay for all the games and for all the players.
My guess is that many people knew that there would be money there that night.
The same thing happens all over NY for team leagues the captain brings in the money for his team times that with a maybe a hundred teams and it is easy to see how 80000 can be there that night
