Police are investigating a robbery at a Port Jefferson Station business Monday night, the fourth such robbery in town over a 10-day period.

According to police, a man entered the GNC store, located at 560 Route 112, at 7:30 p.m. and demanded money from an employee. The employee complied and the robber fled with an undisclosed amount of money, police said.

The suspect is described as possibly a white or light-skinned Hispanic male, between 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-2, with a thin build and a small black moustache.
