This Chipotle really gave him a case of the runs!
One of the accused perpetrators of a Crown Heights home invasion back in May bolted from the Mexican food outlet in Kings Plaza on Nov. 5 when he came face-to-face with one of the victims behind the counter — and she recognized him.
A trio of ruffians allegedly broke into the apartment near Pacific Street and Buffalo Avenue she shares with two roommates by climbing the fire escape on May 18. The good-for-nothings threatened the victims with a gun, tied them up and threw a blanket over them, and demanded they hand over cash, according to authorities. The louts fled with about $1,500 at about 5:20 am, officials said.
But six months later, one of the goons — who police say is about 25-to-35-years-old and about 5-feet-5 to 5-feet-7 — was hungry for a burrito bowl when he unwittingly walked into the Mexican food chain at the Flatbush Avenue mall where the victim works at about 3:30 on Nov. 5, officials said.
The scoundrel fled when the Chipotle employee recognized and started confronting him — but the eatery’s cameras had already caught a photograph, according to authorities.
