A Riverhead woman has been charged with an April 28 robbery at a outlet store in Riverhead.
Lakea Staton, 26, forcibly removed property from the Charlotte Russe store at Tanger Outlets and fled the area prior, police said. The Riverhead Police Department detective division’s investigation led to Staton’s arrest yesterday, according to a police press release.
Staton was held for arraignment in Riverhead Justice Court on a charge of robbery in the third degree, a class D felony.
