Police are searching for a man who robbed an Astoria deli last month and took off with hundreds of dollars in cash.

The man stole $750 from Aan Deli Grocery, located at 35-14 28 Ave., on Nov. 20, police said.

The suspect walked into the store around 6:10 p.m., while simulating a firearm in his jacket pocket. He then went behind the counter and demanded money from a 48-year-old employee. He took off with the cash, fleeing westbound on 28th Avenue, police said.

Red Storm stars reflect on historic season with fans dreaming of deep run during March Madness

In just his second year at the helm of the St. John’s Red Storm, basketball Hall of Famer Rick Pitino was named Big East Coach of the Year on Wednesday after leading his squad to its first outright regular season conference championship in 40 years and matched a program record 27 regular season victories. The Johnnies lost just four games all season by seven points combined. St. John’s also went an undefeated 18-0 at home for the first time since 1931-32. It earned them their highest national ranking (No. 6) since the 1990-91 season.

Pitino is the first St. John’s coach to be named the Big East’s Coach of the Year since Lou Carnesecca, who died on Saturday, Nov. 30, at age 99 and just five weeks shy of his 100th birthday.
