Knife-wielding robber allegedly strikes again as Long Island convenience store is held up
WEST BABYLON, Long Island (WABC) -- A knife-wielding serial robber in Long Island struck again on Tuesday after he supposedly robbed a convenience store.
Police say that just before 2 p.m., the robber entered The Barn on Little East Neck Road in West Babylon and demanded money from the clerk.
He then managed to get away with an unknown amount of money.
According to investigators, the suspect fits the description of a man they're looking for in connection with a robbery spree over the last two months.
