Cops seek suspect in sports store robbery
Suffolk County police are looking for a man who robbed a Stony Brook sporting goods store Sunday night.
The man entered the Sports Authority store on Route 347 shortly after 9 p.m. and showed an employee a gun in his waistband, police said.

There were no reported injuries and the robber fled with an undetermined amount of money.
The robber was described as a man in his late 30s to early 40s with a medium build and a mustache.
