Cops investigating Roosevelt deli robbery

The trio, one armed with a handgun, walked into a deli in Roosevelt late Saturday night -- and tried to rob the place. But the three would-be robbers didn't get a dime.

One also wore a blue hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, another a black hooded sweatshirt and jeans. The third robber wore a white hooded sweatshirt, white gloves, dark jeans and red-and-white sneakers.
