Two thieves held up the Lower East Side Whole Foods Sunday night and made off with thousands in cash, police sources said.
The workers, a manager, another employee and a security guard had a shopping cart full of cash and coins from the registers at the East Houston Street store that they were taking via elevator to a second floor office around 10 p.m., cops said.
When the elevator doors opened on the second floor, the two thieves – one armed with a gun — were already waiting and forced the workers to ground before grabbing between $ 50,000 and $ 60,000, cops added.
A source said that the two crooks then calmly walked out of the store toward Chrystie Street.
A spokesman for Whole Foods would only confirm that the supermarket was robbed at gunpoint.
