Two deliverymen were robbed at gunpoint outside of the Apple store in Manhasset on Saturday morning, according to Nassau County police.
Two 65-year-old men told police they were delivering products to the electronics store at 1900 Northern Blvd. around 8:05 a.m., when they were approached by several men wearing all-black clothing armed with what appeared to be handguns, according to a police news release. The victims told police the men took “multiple boxes of merchandise” from their truck and fled, the release said.
Police did not offer a description of the suspects, who fled in an unknown direction, according to the release. A Nassau police spokesperson could not provide details about what was stolen.
An investigation into the incident was ongoing, police said.
