In a brazen and alarming incident, a pair of armed robbers stormed a crowded restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, and robbed three diners at gunpoint, all while the horrified dinner crowd looked on. The robbery took place at the popular Williamsburg Chinese restaurant, Birds of a Feather around 9:35 p.m. on a busy evening.
The duo entered the restaurant, brandishing a gun, and immediately demanded valuables from three patrons seated at the establishment. Among the items stolen were a $200 Seiko watch and mobile phones, which the robbers took in plain view of the other diners. According to the NYPD, the robbers then fled westbound on Grand Street, escaping on a moped with their loot.
Police later managed to track and recover three stolen iPhones at an address on North 11th Street, though the identities of the robbers remain unknown. The victims of the robbery, all men in their 20s, were unharmed in the incident but were left shaken by the audacious crime.
Xian Zhang, the owner of Birds of a Feather, expressed his shock and dismay over the incident. Speaking to Eater, he said, “It was very bold. Fortunately, nobody got hurt.” Zhang highlighted that the restaurant was full of diners at the time of the robbery, making the criminals’ actions even more startling.
This unsettling crime is the latest in a series of bold robberies that have troubled New York City. Just days earlier, on June 18, a pair of gun-toting robbers made headlines by stealing a $100,000 watch from a man outside the renowned Manhattan restaurant, Carbone. Both incidents have left the community on edge, and as of Thursday, the police confirmed that the perpetrators in both cases were still at large.
Birds of a Feather, located on Grand Street near Bedford Avenue, is known for its upscale Chinese cuisine, with entrees ranging from $18 to $35. Despite the restaurant’s reputation and busy atmosphere, the robbers showed no hesitation in carrying out their crime in front of a full house.
The NYPD has intensified its efforts to track down the suspects, urging anyone with information to come forward. The incident at Birds of a Feather serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers that can occur even in seemingly safe and bustling environments.
