Cops: Robber sought in Lawrence store robbery

He walked into the storefront on Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence, asked the cashier if she could make change for the bus and, police said, when the 19-year-old employee opened the register, the man jumped the counter and grabbed cash. Now, Nassau County police are searching for the robber, saying he "simulated having a gun." The robbery occurred just before 6 p.m. Thursday at the offices of L.
