LONG ISLAND, NY – Nassau County police are investigating a robbery that occurred in Freeport on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 5:20 P.M.
According to detectives, a male victim, 21, after responding to an advertisement on Facebook, made arrangements to meet with a male subject in front of 51 Shonnard Avenue to purchase sixty five Texas Instrument TI-84 calculators for $1000 in cash. As the victim was waiting, two male subjects armed with a handgun entered his vehicle and demanded the money.
When the victim did not comply, the subjects took his wallet containing several credit and debit cards, directed him to drive to 63 N. Columbus Avenue, where they parked.
