Cops: Paper deliveryman robbed in Bethpage

Eighth Squad detectives are looking for a man who robbed a newspaper delivery person at gunpoint Thursday in Bethpage, Nassau County police said.

At about 5:30 a.m., as the victim was delivering papers from his car on Carrie Avenue, a man with a black handgun approached him and ordered him out of the car, police said.

The armed man took the deliveryman's wallet, with an unspecified amount of cash, and then ran east on Carrie Avenue, where he got into a red Nissan Maxima.

Police could not say which newspaper was being delivered, but a company spokesman said Thursday it was not Newsday.

Police ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers, 800-244-8477. All calls will be kept confidential.
