According to detectives, a 53 year old male victim was entering his Rose Drive residence when he was approached by three unknown male subjects that began kicking and punching him in the head causing contusions. The subjects then removed an undetermined amount of US currency that the victim was carrying in his hand. The subjects then fled in a 2007 White Jeep.

The victim got into his car and was able to follow the subjects to the vicinity of Charles Lindberg Boulevard and West Road, in Garden City. It was at this time the time the tires on the Jeep went flat and all subjects were observed running away in different directions.

The victim called police and then drove himself to a local hospital so he could be treated for his injuries. The three subjects are all described as being Hispanic, 20-25 years of age, 150 Lbs., 5’10” tall, and wearing dark clothing.

Detectives request that anyone with information regarding this crime to contact the Nassau County Police Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
