Riverhead Police are searching for two young men in Halloween masks who robbed a woman on East Avenue last night.
Police said the victim was walking on East Avenue near the railroad tracks when she was approached by two unknown males who forcibly removed her backpack containing, among other things, her I.D. and $200 cash.
The masked suspects are described as black males in their late teens to early 20s, thin build, approximately 6 feet tall.
Both fled the area on foot, eastbound along the railroad tracks.
Anyone with information is asked to call Riverhead Police at 631-727-4500.
