Lakeview street robbery suspect sought, Nassau cops say

Police said they are asking the public’s help locating a man who, with two accomplices, robbed victims at gunpoint on a street in Lakeview in August.

Nassau County police said Damion Barnaby and two other suspects robbed the victim on Dekoven Street at 4 a.m. Aug. 16.

Police said the victims “were present on Dekoven Street” — and that Barnaby, “acting in concert” with the two suspects, approached the victims, displayed a weapon and robbed them of cash and other property before fleeing the scene.

Police did not say how much was taken.

It was unclear if the other suspects were known to police.

Police ask anyone with information about the robbery to call Crime Stoppers at 800-244-8477. All calls will remain anonymous.
