Serial Robber Hits 10th Nassau County Store

HEWLETT, NY - A Hewlett Carvel was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night by a man police believe is responsible for at least nine other recent robberies in Nassau County, police said.

According to police, the man entered the store on 1344 Peninsula Boulevard at about 9:27 p.m., displayed a large knife, went behind counter and demanded the employee open the register, police said.

After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, the robber left the store and was last seen westbound toward Mill Road.

There were two employees and no customers inside the store at the time of the robbery. No injuries were reported.

The man is described as black, 6-feet tall, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, jeans, ski mask, black gloves and dark round sunglasses.

The man is suspected to be connected to nine other robberies in Nassau County.

Police released surveillance footage of the suspected robber on Tuesday.

According to authorities, the man typically enters stores, produces a large knife, demands cash and flees on foot. The man has been known to wait inside the business until there are no customers present before he commits the robbery, police say.

The below videos are surveillance footage taken of the suspect from a Dunkin’ Donuts robbery that occurred in New Hyde Park on March 1.

A Williston Park Dunkin’ Donuts has been robbed twice this week by a man with a knife, but police believe a different man committed those robberies.
