According to police, the three men entered Universal Envios Corp., located at 377 Nassau Road in Roosevelt, at 7 p.m. Monday. One of the men pulled out a handgun and ordered a 32-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man to get on the floor.
While he did, the other two men went behind the counter, opened the register and stole the cash. The three men then fled on foot. No one was injured.
