Police are searching for three men who allegedly held up a day spa on Staten
Island, New York and threatened an employee with a hammer.

At approximately 6:20pm on August 26, three suspects walked into the New Royal Spa, one of whom threatened an employee before making off with US$600 (€460, £360), according to police.

A Staten Island advance report notes that the same spa was robbed at knifepoint twice in five days last year, CBS News reports. Thirty-six year-old Steven Huscha was charged in both those cases.

The police have released surveillance video of the suspects in the day spa and urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers.
