Three robbers got away on bicycles after robbing two men in Westbury Sunday, Oct. 18 at 1:20 a.m.
According to police, three Hispanic men–described as in their twenties, and having tall thin builds and wearing black ski masks and dressed in dark clothing–approached two male victims, ages 17 and 20, as they were walking on Old Country Road/Sylvester Street. The subjects, armed with a handgun and knives, demanded the victims’ property in Spanish. One victim complied and handed over his cell phone and wallet containing cash. The other victim refused and was struck on the head with the handgun, causing a small laceration. The subject then reached into the victim’s pocket and removed his cell phone and wallet containing a credit card.
The three male subjects fled on their bicycles westbound on Old Country Road and then south on Grand Boulevard.
