AutoZone in Bensonhurst Held Up – Hostages – SWAT Team
The AutoZone store located at 1455 – 86th Street was held up today. Two guys and a woman entered the Autozone store. One of the employees triggered the security alarm (possibly because they remembered the from the robbery in May). The police SWAT team was all over 86th Street and 14th Avenue and 15th Avenue.
Everyone gathered around to watch for over an hour and a half because a hostage situation is big news in this part of Brooklyn. Businesses were shut down and customers were asked to leave establishments on the street.
People watching the situation said that four employees were being held hostage in the back. The police closed the street and had their guns drawn. Helicopters filled the air. Finally, one of the suspects came out of the store pretending to be an employee. He was wearing an Autozone t-shirt. The police asked him what the store’s phone number was, but he didn’t know it so he was arrested. The two other suspected robbers remained in the store.
Later, people in the area said the four employees that were taped up and being held hostage were released. The police arrest the other two suspects (a man and a woman) who had water guns (or BB guns).

This isn’t the first time this Brooklyn Auto Zone has been robbed. At the end of May, it was also robbed.
