STORM WATCH

State of emergency declared with storm expected to bring up to 4-6 inches of snow to Brooklyn

The search is on for three men after several businesses were robbed at gunpoint in less than four hours.
According to police, the trio began the four-hour spree at Ralph Avenue Food Corp. just before 3 p.m. Sunday, getting away with $1,000 and five boxes of cigarettes.
Police say they then headed to Rose Family Grocery in East New York, getting $500 and a cellphone. After, they headed to Marcy Express Grocery but when the worker told them he'd called the cops, the men ran off empty handed.
Their final stop was a deli on Bergen Street, where they got away with $400, leaving in a gray or silver four-door sedan with a black bumper guard.
Police are hoping that footage captured on surveillance cameras will come in handy. They're asking anyone with information or who may recognize the men to call police.
