Police are searching for four men who robbed an 18-year-old at gunpoint while he was getting out of livery vehicle in East Elmhurst late last month.

Police said the suspects approached the victim as he was getting out of the cab near 96-06 31st Ave at around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 30.

The victim was carrying shopping bags and dropped them as he fled the scene. He returned shortly after and discovered his bags missing.

Three of the suspects are described as being between 18 and 25 years old. Two of them are approximately 170 pounds, according to police.
