Police: Teens arrested in drug-deal robbery
Four Massapequa teens were arrested Wednesday evening in the robbery of a 20-year-old man during a drug deal in Hicksville, police said.
Joseph Dilena, 19, of 104 Chester Ave., Taylor Bocchiaro, 17, of 226 Biltmore Blvd., Ryan Heselton, 18, of 183 Baltimore Ave., and Edward Kaercher, 17, of 30 Fairwater Ave., face charges of fourth-degree robbery.
After the 20-year-old got into the car, driven by Dilena, police said the group drove to the parking lot of a Sleepy's store on South Oyster Bay Road where the alleged dealer was pushed from the car, punched and kicked, and the pills taken from his pocket.
The four teens then drove off, police said.
Police said the victim suffered minor injuries, but refused medical attention.
The four teens all face arraignment Thursday in First District Court in Hempstead.
