The combined estimated value of the drones stolen from the store is $16,000, according to Fox5 NY. The NYPD is now offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to their arrests.
The store, on its Facebook page, had said in mid-March that it was “closed until further notice” due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
