EAST ELMHURST — The NYPD has sought the public’s assistance in identifying two suspects wanted in connection with a robbery in East Elmhurst.
At about 3:30 a.m. June 25, two men got into a livery cab at Union Street and 37th Avenue in Flushing and requested that the driver take them to 100th Street and 23rd Avenue, police said.
