It happened at around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday, April 26, at the BP station on South Oyster Bay Road in Syosset, Nassau County Police said.

Investigators later discovered that prior to the victim’s arrival, four men had arrived in two separate vehicles and lingered around the gas pumps. One was donning a black ski mask, police said.
Once the victim entered the store, one of the men got into his car and all three vehicles took off heading southbound on South Oyster Bay Road, police said.
Nobody was injured.
The suspect vehicles are described as a gray Nissan Murano and a white Range Rover.
