3 Teens Rob Delivery Man, Steal His Car: Police

WEST BABYLON, NY - Three teens were arrested for robbing a delivery man in West Babylon on Monday afternoon, according to Suffolk Police.

A 34-year-old man was delivering food for Jackie Chan’s Kitchen in Wyandanch to a Westchester Avenue home when 17-year-old Kamondre Dekattu, of Brooklyn, 16-year-old Marlon Rigueur, of Brooklyn, and a juvenile approached him outside the home and held him to the ground at 12:15 p.m., police said.

The trio stole cash and a cell phone from the man's pockets and fled in his vehicle, a Toyota Rav 4, police said.

A short time later, the Toyota was involved in a crash on the Southern State Parkway near Bethpage Parkway.

Following the crash, the three fled the scene. A passing driver, who saw the crash and stopped to help, saw the group fleeing into the woods, police said.

The driver chased them on foot and called 911, eventually losing sight of them.

Nassau County Police officers then located the three in the yard of a home on Intervale Avenue in Farmingdale, police said.

Kamondre Dekattu, 17, of Brooklyn, Marlon Rigueur, 16, of Brooklyn, and a juvenile were each charged with two counts of second degree robbery, police said.
