Nassau 7-Eleven Robbery: Police Release Photo Of Suspects

CARLE PLACE, NY — Police have released a photo that they said shows two suspects who robbed a convenience store in Carle Place last week.

Two males entered a 7-Eleven store on Old Country Road around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, took items off the shelves and placed them into a backpack, police said. A store clerk confronted the duo when they tried to leave without paying.

That's when police said one of the suspects pushed the clerk threatened the worker with a sharp object, described as either a silver knife or box cutter. The males fled the store and escaped in a silver Nissan sedan, police said. Two others were also possibly in the vehicle, which left the parking lot and was last seen heading west on Old Country Road.
