Some lowlife in a football jersey with “Peppers” written on the back pretended to pull a gun on an employee at a Williamsburg fast-food joint before robbing the eatery on Sunday, police said.
The brute walked into the Chicken Express on Broadway between Lorimer and Walton streets around 10:30 am, before approaching the worker with his hand beneath the shirt to simulate a pistol and demanding cash, according to cops, who said the jerk never showed an actual firearm during the incident.
The employee handed over $80 from the register, $150 from a lock box, and $180 from his own wallet, and the thief fled towards Union Avenue on foot in his orange sports garb emblazoned with the number 90.
