Smokehouse workers in New York threatened with a hammer for a brutal robbery: video

According to police and video footage, two gunmen threatened Brooklyn smoke shop workers with a hammer and hit one of them before snatching hundreds of dollars in cash and CBD products.

The couple entered the Hubble Bubble Smokehouse on Avenue P near East 4th Street in Midwood just after 11 a.m. Feb. 2, police said this week.

The video, posted late Monday night, shows the couple talking to a worker behind the counter when one of them appears to be pointing at a small object he was holding in his hand and then walks away.

As the worker follows them, one of the suspects clambers over the counter, grabbing a hammer.

Cops say the scumbag threatened employees with a hammer and demanded CBD products.

The video then shows another suspect going behind the counter and grabbing several items.
