Cops probe Uniondale handbag robbery
Nassau County police are looking for two men who robbed a 67-year-old woman at gunpoint early Sunday in Uniondale.
Police said the victim was walking on Manor Parkway around 10:10 a.m. when two men in their 20s approached in what the victim described as a vehicle that was an off-white color. The driver pulled to the side of the road and asked the woman for her handbag, police said.
When she refused, the driver displayed a small, shiny, silver handgun, police said. The passenger reached over the driver and grabbed the victim's handbag, police said, and the pair were last seen driving west on Midland Street.
Police said the woman wasn't injured and that the men made off with $300. Police ask anybody with information to call 800-244-TIPS.
