Nassau County police said three teenagers were robbed at knifepoint late Saturday in Kings Point.

Third Squad detectives said the three 16-year-old boys were on a boat ramp on Dock Lane at 11:45 p.m. when they were approached by two male suspects who had their faces covered.

The two displayed knives and told the victims “to give up everything they have,” according to a police news release.

Police said the suspects stole clothing and other property from the victims, then ran away in an unknown direction. The victims returned home and called police. There were no reports of injuries.

Detectives request anyone with information regarding this crime to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
