Farmingville Gas Station Robbed at Gunpoint
It happened early this morning. Four Suffolk businesses have now been robbed at gunpoint over the past five days.
A Farmingville gas station was robbed at gunpoint Monday night, Suffolk Police said.
According to police, two men entered the BP gas station located at 1099 Horseblock Road at about 9:50 p.m. The men displayed handguns and demanded cash from an employee at the counter. The employee complied and the men fled on foot. There were no injuries. Detectives are asking anyone with information regarding the robbery to call the Sixth Squad at 631-854-8652 or anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
It's the fourth gunpoint robbery in five days at Suffolk businesses. Early Tuesday, three men with guns robbed a gas station in St. James. A clerk was injured during a robbery at a Medford store late Sunday night. Last Friday, two men with guns robbed a gas station in Medford.
