Police arrested five gang members who conducted a five-month robbery spree in southeast Queens targeting bodega owners, police officials said. The suspects, who investigators believe are affiliated with a street gang, the Crips, were charged yesterday with holding up 22 bodegas at gunpoint between March and August. The suspects face a litany of charges which could land them each in jail for 25 years, the Queens District Attorney’s Office said.
