Two Teens Robbed at Gunpoint in Nassau

Two teens were assaulted and robbed at gunpoint in Valley Stream on Friday, and police are searching for their attackers.

According to detectives, a female robber, armed with a BB gun, approached a boy and girl, both 15, while they were walking in front of 103 Ethel St. in Valley Stream at 10 p.m., pointed the gun at them, then pointed the gun to the ground and shot a round. The two teens kept walking, and were then approached by two additional robbers, armed with a handgun, who threatened to shoot them if they did not hand over their belongings.

The boy complied and handed over his backpack. The girl refused and moved the handgun that he was pointing at her away from her face. The robber then punched her in the face and took her backpack. The robbers fled into a light-colored silver or gray Honda, believed to be an Accord, eastbound on Ethel Street towards Central Avenue.

An ambulance transported the girl, who sustained a bruise and cut to her nose and mouth, to a local hospital for evaluation.

The first robber is described as a black female, 15-16 years old, 5’5” tall, medium complexion, thin build, straight brown hair (in bun), wearing a blue Adidas sweater. The second robber is a Hispanic male, 5’4” tall, light complexion, heavy set, and wearing a white vendetta phantom mask. The third robber is a Hispanic man, 5’10” tall, average build, wearing all black clothing and a white vendetta phantom mask.

The victims’ property, which contained school books, credit cards and cell phone, were recovered in the vicinity of 270 West Jamaica Avenue.
