The robbery happened at North Shore Farms on Jerusalem Avenue around 5:50 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22, according to detectives.

Police say the victim was backing his 2001 Toyota Camry out of a parking spot when two men approached. One of them punched the car and falsely accused the victim of hitting him. The pair then yelled, threatened, and demanded money, making the elderly man fear for his safety, detectives said.

The victim handed over $600 in cash before the suspects fled westbound on Jerusalem Avenue in a white Maserati, police said.

Authorities described the first suspect as a White male, 30 to 40 years old, 6 feet tall, about 220 pounds, with a black beard and mustache, last seen wearing a green hooded sweatshirt with white and red stripes, gray pants, and brown shoes.

The second suspect was also described as a White male, about 30 years old, 6 feet tall, about 220 pounds, with a brown beard and mustache, last seen wearing blue jeans, a gray hooded sweatshirt with a blue T-shirt over it, and a gray knit hat.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. Callers will remain anonymous.
