Qns. clothes robbery with tongue in chic

- Noah Goldberg

POLICE ARE looking for a snazzily dressed Queens man who lifted merchandis­e from a Burlington Coat Factory — and pulled what looked like a gun on security guards when they stopped him from leaving, authoritie­s said.

The man was trying to exit the store on Queens Blvd. near 63rd Road in Rego Park about 2:30 p.m. on Thursday when security blocked his way.

The man showed the guards what looked like a firearm, and then fled the store with nothing but a $30 duffel bag, cops said.

Surveillan­ce footage released by cops shows the man leaving the store holding the bag.

The thief — wearing a jacket, two-tone pants and a gold necklace — sticks his tongue out (photo) and gestures to someone to follow him.

Cops are also looking for two young women wanted for pickpocket­ing a woman’s wallet in a subway station on April 22 and using her credit card 20 minutes later to buy expensive eyewear in SoHo, police said.

The two women, one of whom sported a light blue Chanel sweatshirt at the time of the robbery, bought $800 worth of merchandis­e at Cleo Nicci Eyewear in SoHo .

Anyone with informatio­n is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577- 8477. All calls are kept confidenti­al.
