Cops: Four robbed in Rockville Centre
A group of four people were robbed at gunpoint as they walked down a Rockville Centre street early Friday morning, Nassau County police said.
The victims -- two 21-year-old women, and two men, 22 and 23 -- were walking near 100 N. Centre Ave. at about 4:30 a.m. when they were approached by two men.
One of the men pointed a handgun at the victims and demanded their possessions, police said.
After the victims gave the men cash, identification, credit cards, a cellphone, wallets and a handbag, the two men fled north toward Meehan Lane. No one was injured.
