Suffolk County Police First Squad detectives are investigating a robbery of a US Postal Service mail carrier in North Babylon today.
The mail carrier was in his mail truck and had just removed mail from the mailbox located at the corner of Hughes Lane and Miller Avenue when a suspect approached him and demanded the Arrow key which opens all the mailboxes in the North Babylon area, at approximately 3:30 p.m. The suspect reached into his zip up hooded sweatshirt and gestured like he had a gun.
The mail carrier complied, and the suspect then fled in a light blue sedan northbound on Miller Avenue towards Sylvan Road.
Anyone with information is asked to call First Squad detectives at 631-854-8152.
