Third Man Arrested For East Meadow Robbery: Police

EAST MEADOW, NY - A third man was arrested on Saturday for a robbery that occurred in East Meadow last month, according to Nassau Police.

Roger De Los Angelos, 23, of New York City, was arrested and charged with two counts of second degree robbery, police said.

On Feb. 21, a 53-year-old man was entering his Rose Drive home when he was approached by a group of men that began kicking and punching him in the head causing contusions, police said.

The men then stole the cash that the man was carrying in his hand and fled in a 2007 White Jeep, according to police.

The man got into his car and was able to follow the men to Charles Lindberg Boulevard and West Road in Garden City, police said.

The tires on the Jeep went flat and the men were seen running away in different directions, police said.

The man called police and then drove himself to a local hospital so he could be treated for his injuries.
