Man Charged in Armed Robbery Inside Patchogue Apartment

A 20-year-old man was lured to a Patchogue apartment early Wednesday morning before being robbed and assaulted, police said.

Another 20-year-old man, Lesly Pardo, was arrested hours after the incident, which occurred at the Fairfield Westlake complex at 311 W. Main Street.

The victim was invited to Pardo's apartment, but once there, Pardo and his accomplices, one of whom was armed with a gun, forcibly stole the victim’s pants, sneakers and wallet around 2 a.m., police said.

The victim was struck in the head with a handgun, but he refused medical attention, police said.

Pardo was arrested at 5 a.m. Wednesday. Police did not specify how many others were involved in the robbery or if police are still searching for suspects.

Pardo was arraigned on Thursday. He is being held on $35,000 bail or $100,000 bond. He is due back in court next Monday.
