A mid-afternoon robbery at a Bronx gas station on Saturday, July 4, left a store worker staring down the barrel of a gun while a thief made off with roughly $2,000 and then pedaled away on a bicycle.
The holdup happened around 3:45 p.m. inside the store at 6571 Broadway, where police say a 32-year-old male employee was threatened with a firearm and forced to hand over cash from the register.

The post urges anyone with information or footage from the area to call the tipline or submit an anonymous report online.

Where It Happened
The address at 6571 Broadway is listed in property and business directories as a single-story commercial site that operates as a Citgo gas station and convenience store. StreetEasy and other local listings place the location on the Riverdale stretch of Broadway in the Bronx.
Police Appeal for Tips
Anyone with information or video is asked to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), or to submit an anonymous tip online. Those numbers and the web form are also listed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, SDNY.
Why This Matters
Convenience stores and gas stations are frequent targets for quick robberies, and this Citgo is no stranger to that risk. Local reporting documents a January 2021 robbery at the same location, when a suspect simulated having a firearm and took cash from the register. Bronx.com covered that earlier case.
Police say tips to Crime Stoppers are confidential, and information that helps identify the suspect in the latest robbery could be eligible for a reward.
