Officials: Cops searching for pair who robbed Westbury Best Buy
Nassau police are searching for a man and a woman who they said robbed a Best Buy store at knifepoint Wednesday afternoon and made off with a laptop computer and camera equipment, authorities said.
The robbery occurred shortly after noon at the electronics chain’s 1100 Old Country Rd. location when the suspects “removed a laptop computer and camera equipment without making attempt to purchase the items,” police said.
The value of the items is about $1,700.

No one was injured.
Police described the male suspect as 6-2, between 30 and 40 years old and wearing a black Marvel comic-themed T-shirt.
The woman was described as wearing a yellow shirt with pink/floral pattern pants and a headwrap, police said.
