Crime Stoppers

The Fifth Squad is investigating a robbery that occurred on 7/15/10 at 10:45 PM, in West Hempstead.
At that time, according to detectives, the two 18-year-old victims were confronted on Hempstead Gardens Drive by a group of four unknown males, who exited a dark 4-door sedan, asked them for the time and, subsequently, for money. The four subjects then proceeded to assault the victims with their fists, before one of the subjects produced a small silver handgun and pointed it at one of the victims, as another subject went through the same victim’s pockets and removed his cell phone. All subjects then fled with the phone in the same vehicle, eastbound on Washington Avenue.
The victims refused medical attention. The armed subject is described as male, black, 17-18 years old, 5’8”, 150 lbs, wearing a blue shirt; others were described as black males, one being 5’10’, 175 lbs, wearing a white shirt.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
