Cops: Levittown Man Robbed 15-Year-Olds at Knifepoint

A Levittown man and two 15-year-olds face charges for orchestrating the robbery of their friends, according to Nassau County Police.

At 5:15 p.m., Ronald Rodriguez, 19, entered a Jester Lane home in Levittown and tried to steal a PlayStation game, police said.

Rodriguez, who was armed with a knife, then demanded money from a 15-year-old resident, who was home with three other 15-year-old friends, cops said. He fled with money from two of the teens, police said.

Investigators discovered the other two teenagers in the home were involved in organizing the robbery, officials said.

Rodriguez was found in his home at 9:20 p.m. and taken into custody, cops said. He and the two 15-year-old accomplices were charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary. They were arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
