A masked woman made off with cash from two Manhattan stores and tried to rob three others — all while pretending to pack heat, police sources said.
The most recent incident in the two-day spree was Wednesday, when she walked into Hudson Market Place at 755 9th Ave. just after 12:30 a.m. and demanded dough.
The clerk told cops the woman was wearing a black mask, and shouted “Give me all the 20’s from the register!” according to employee Billal Musleh.
“She held her hand in her pocket to pretend like she had a gun,” Musleh said.
“Then a costumer came in …and she got scared and walked out.”
A few minutes before, she she walked into a Hell’s Kitchen CVS at 800 10th Ave. she made the same demand, cops said.
“If you open the drawer, no one will get hurt!” she threatened, according to police.
The clerk, who said the bandit was wearing a gray mask, handed over $100. The robber didn’t display a weapon, cops said.
The robbery spree began a day earlier on the Upper West Side when she pretended to be packing a pistol at Duane Reade at 4 Amsterdam Ave. around 5 a.m. Tuesday. But she struck out at the location, police sources said.
Then, about 15 minutes later, she walked into the Duane Reade at 2025 Broadway, threatened to have a gun, and demanded money. But she fled empty-handed.
And just before 6 a.m. , she went into the CVS at 200 West End Ave., pretended to have a weapon, and was handed $247, the sources said.
