A man was robbed at gunpoint just before 9 o’clock last night on Prospect Place in Riverhead.
Riverhead Police said the 23-year-old Latino victim was robbed of his cell phone and cash by several males, who then fled on foot into the River Pointe apartment complex at 821 East Main Street. Police did not provide a description of the suspects other than to say they were black males.
A Riverhead Police K9 unit searched the area and recovered evidence, according to a police press release issued early this morning.
Riverhead Police detectives are investigating. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have any information is urged to contact the Riverhead Police Department at 631-727-4500. All calls will remain confidential, police said.
