Two men broke into a popular Astoria gay bar early Wednesday morning and made off with an ATM containing around $3,000, according to the bar’s owner.
Nathan Finnegan, who owns Albatross Bar at 36-19 24th Ave., said two men broke into his establishment shortly after 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20, breaking in through a side door at the bar using crowbars.
The two men removed an ATM containing around $3,000 from the premises and caused significant damage to the bar’s DJ equipment and lights while unsuccessfully trying to disable the bar’s CCTV system, Finnegan said.
