4 sought in Hempstead GameStop heist

Armed men broke into a video game store in Hempstead on Thursday, robbing the store and its employees before fleeing, Nassau police said.

Two men entered GameStop on Fulton Avenue at about 8:04 p.m., displayed handguns, and ordered one of the two male employees to lie on the floor while the other was ordered to open the cash register, police said.

One of the suspects opened the back door of the store, allowing two more men to enter, police said.

The suspects took cash from the register, and then ordered the employees to an employee rest area, where they were told to lie down before the suspects took their personal property.

The four suspects, who wore black half-masks and dark clothing, then fled through the back door. The employees were not injured.

Police ask anyone with information about this case to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-244-TIPS.
