Lindenhurst Teens Charged in Gunpoint Dunkin' Donuts Robbery

Two 19-year-olds from Lindenhurst were arrested on Tuesday and charged in Monday’s armed robbery of a Lindenhurst Dunkin’ Donuts, police said.

Jaclyn Zublionis and Justin Defrancisco are each charged with first degree robbery and will be arraigned in First District Court in Central Islip Wednesday.

According to police, the pair entered the Dunkin’ Donuts located at 41 Sunrise Highway at about 6 p.m. Monday. Zublionis approached the counter, pointed a handgun at an employee and demanded cash from the register, police said.

The employee complied with the demand and the couple fled the store in a black 2012 Mazda3, police said.

On Tuesday evening, First Squad detectives located a vehicle at Tanner Park in Copiague that matched the description of the vehicle that fled the scene of the robbery, police said. Zublionis, the driver of the vehicle, was arrested and Defrancisco was arrested a short time later, police said.
