West Babylon, NY - February 13, 2018 - Suffolk County Police arrested three males who robbed a delivery man in West Babylon.
A 34-year-old man was delivering food for Jackie Chan’s Kitchen in Wyandanch to 114 Westchester Ave. when three males approached him outside the residence and held him to the ground on February 12 at 12:15 p.m. The men stole cash and a cell phone from the victim’s pockets and fled in his vehicle, a Toyota Rav 4.
A short time later, the Toyota was involved in a crash on the Southern State Parkway near Bethpage Parkway. Following the crash, the occupants fled the scene.
