Three male juveniles were arrested for their roles in a robbery that took place in East Garden City.
According to Nassau County Third Squad Detectives, a 56-year-old male was walking in the vicinity of the blue parking garage near Macy’s on December 30 at 11:20 p,m., when he was approached by three male subjects. One of the subjects pulled out a gun and demanded the victim’s money. The victim, fearing for his life, complied and handed over his money. The three subjects fled the scene.
