NEW YORK —
A cool, well dressed and courteous team of robbers took over the lobby of the posh Regency Hotel on Park Avenue Wednesday and, while guests slept, broke open three dozen safe deposit boxes, police said.
While they punched out the double locks of each box, they held captive about 10 employees and two guests, police said. No one was hurt. No estimate has been made about the value of the loot.
