Trio robbed while waiting for cab in Roosevelt

Three partygoers waiting for a cab early Sunday in Roosevelt were robbed by four men at gunpoint, police said.

No one was injured.

Nassau County police said the armed robbery occurred at 4:10 a.m. outside a home on East Pennywood Avenue.

Police said the three victims, none of whom were identified, had just left a house party at the home and were waiting for a cab to take them home to New Cassel when they were approached by the foursome - all in their late teens or early 20s and all wearing white T-shirts. Police said one of the robbers produced a handgun from his waistband and held the victims at gunpoint while the other three robbed them.

Taken were two cell phones and cash, police said.

The four then fled on foot on East Pennywood, police said.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential, police said.
