Detectives with the Nassau County Police Department say a black male wearing a mask and gloves entered Metro PCS in Hempstead (652 Fulton Avenue) on Monday, Oct. 28 around 8 p.m.

Once inside, the man showed a black handgun and ordered the 25-year-old female employee to put her hands up and go to the back of the store, according to police.

The man asked the victim where the cell phones and cash were kept, then demanded her to crawl underneath a desk, police say.

Once the victim complied, the man allegedly removed an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on foot in an unknown direction.

No injuries were reported.

Anyone with information about this incident or the suspect is urged to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
