Woman Walking to Her Car Robbed at Gunpoint in Patchogue

Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred in Patchogue on Friday evening.

Police say a woman was walking down an alleyway near 116 E. Main Street toward her vehicle that was in the Terry Street parking lot when she was approached by an unknown man who demanded money shortly before 6 p.m.

The woman refused, at which time the man displayed a gun and stole the woman’s bank card, police said.

No injuries were reported. No arrests have been made. Police did not have a description of the robber as of Sunday afternoon. 

The robbery comes a week after a Brentwood man allegedly attempted to rob an off-duty NYPD officer on Jennings Avenue. The officer’s gun was discharged during a struggle in that incident, but no one was hit by the gunfire.
