4 Accused of 2 Robberies

arrested four men and accused them of committing two robberies  in Huntington and Huntington Station Sunday night.

A 54-year-old man walking near Pulaski Road and 1st Avenue in Huntington Station at approximately 8:35 p.m. was approached by four men armed with a rifle and demanded cash. The man complied and the group fled in a 1999 gold Chrysler Sebring.

The group then drove to the M Gas Station at 25 New York Ave.  in Huntington at approximately 8:55 p.m. One of the men pointed the rifle at the 58-year-old attendant and another man held a handgun to the attendant’s head, demanding cash. The attendant complied and the group fled westbound on Creek Road.

Descriptions of the men and car were broadcast and Second Precinct Patrol Officers Lawrence Mazzola and Jennifer Kosior saw a Sebring fitting the description in front of 9 Sexton Court, with a group of men nearby.

Further investigation by Second Squad detectives led to the arrests of the four men.
