Update on robbery at Monsey Glatt


Ramapo police yesterday released surveillance photos of the men who beat up a store manager and stole money from Monsey Glatt on Route 59.Detectives hope the surveillance shots showing partial faces will provide some clues to the robbers’ identity.

Detective Tom Byrnes said yesterday that three men entered the store’s back door.

“They grabbed the store manager and assaulted him, beating him about the head and face,” Byrnes said.

One choked the manager and held him to the ground as the two others ransacked the store and stole an undetermined amount of cash, Byrnes said.

The victim was treated for bruises and needed stitches.

Byrnes said the video surveillance seems to show that one man beat the manager with a handgun.

All three robbers wore black hoods and masks, he said. One man carried a semi-automatic handgun.

No firm descriptions were released of the men, who wore either full facial masks or half masks coming down below their noses.

Police suspect that the robbers targeted the kosher supermarket, which is usually open late at night.

Monsey Glatt and Wesley Kosher on Route 306 are both owned by Shimon Mendlowitz of Monsey.

Anyone with information on the robbery can call the Ramapo Police Department at 845-357-2400.
