A driver was forced to stop and robbed by the occupants of another vehicle on the Sagtikos State Parkway on Thursday night, State Police said Saturday.
Police said a burgundy 2016 Land Rover was traveling north on the parkway’s ramp to the Long Island Expressway’s eastbound service road in Brentwood at about 9:15 p.m. The Land Rover was approached and boxed in on the ramp by a white BMW sport utility vehicle and a light-colored sedan, forcing it to stop, police said.
The Land Rover’s driver told police that a man came out of one of the vehicles, brandished a gun and took a handbag that was in the Land Rover.
Police are asking anyone with information about the robbery to call 631-756-3300. All calls will remain confidential.
A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.
Stuff like this is why I'm continually aware of the other vehicles around me and make sure I have a space cushion around my vehicle. First sign that something fishy is going on, I'm outta there.
Person darted around in front me and slammed on their brakes just as another jumped beside me.
I had no choice but to hit the car in front of me.
But I saw it coming and was already slowing down and barely tapped the bumper. It didn't do anything to either car.
I just backed up and went around them.
No way was I going to be trapped.
