A brazen pair robbed an off-duty NYPD cadet and his girlfriend at gunpoint in an early Monday stick-up in Chelsea, cops and sources said.
A 20-year-old – enrolled in the NYPD’s paid internship program for college students – was sitting in his car with his 22-year-old gal pal on West 25th Street near Seventh Avenue around 3:45 a.m., when two men ran up on them holding guns, authorities said.
“Give us what you have and don’t mess around,” one of the suspects demanded, according to the sources.
The woman handed over her beau’s wallet holding cash, credit cards and his NYPD-issued ID, the sources said.
But that wasn’t enough for the gun-toting duo, one of whom smacked the cadet in the face with his firearm and snarled, “You got more than that,” the sources said.
The cadet then pulled an unspecified amount of cash out of the center console and handed it to the muggers, according to the sources.
The suspects then took off in a black BMW with a New York plate, with a license plate reader later capturing the car heading into Queens through the Queens Midtown Tunnel, the sources said.
One of them was last seen wearing all black, and the other wore a white camouflage hoodie with black jeans, the sources said.
