Suspected robber runs into victim behind Chipotle counter months later
A Chipotle customer chose the wrong person to order from — his alleged victim from a robbery almost six months ago, cops said.
Accompanied by a young child, the suspect entered the Mexican food eatery at the Mill Basin Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Brooklyn and proceeded to order from a worker, but she immediately recognized him, according to police.
She confronted him about their May encounter. He promptly grabbed his food and bolted with the child — leaving behind a clear view of his face on surveillance video.
The man and two accomplices allegedly broke into an apartment near Pacific Street and Buffalo Avenue on May 18 by climbing up a fire escape and into the window, police said.
The burglars encountered three women, ages 18, 20, and 32, inside the apartment and flashed a gun. They tied up their victims and covered them with a blanket before making off with $1,500 in cash and fleeing.
Authorities describe the hungry housebreaker as about 5-foot-6 and 25 to 35 years old. Cops do not yet have physical descriptions of his accomplices.
