Couple Robbed at Gunpoint at Their Woodmere Home

WOODMERE, NY – A Woodmere couple was robbed at gunpoint at their home Saturday morning, Nassau Police said.

According to police, a 73-year-old was parking his car in the garage of his Park Court home when he was approached by two unknown men around 9:35 a.m.

One of the men ordered the homeowner to put his hands in the air as he pointed a black handgun at his head, police said.

The robber then reached into the man's pockets and removed a cellphone, paperwork and an undetermined amount of cash. The robber then searched the man’s car and removed a black briefcase that also contained cash.

The second robber then went upstairs in the home and pointed a black handgun at the man's 71-year-old wife while demanding cash. After the wife explained that she had no cash, both robbers then fled with the proceeds in a black Honda SUV that was last seen heading west on Rosedale Road.

There were no injuries reported and the investigation is ongoing.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding the robbery to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
