Suffolk County Police today arrested four men after they, along with a fifth man, robbed a smoke shop in Ronkonkoma early this morning.
 
Five men entered Lucky 7 Smoke Shop, located at 404A Rosevale Ave., at approximately 12:35 a.m. One man, who was armed with a handgun, restrained the clerk, while the other four men stole merchandise and cash from the register. All five men then ran out of the store and fled towards Rosevale Avenue.
 
A Highway Patrol officer observed the men running from the store and getting into a gray Volkswagen Jetta, followed the vehicle, and requested backup. When the Jetta parked in a driveway on Terry Road, multiple occupants fled on foot, and the driver was arrested. Fourth Precinct Patrol units established a perimeter, and Canine and Aviation Section officers arrived at the scene. Three of the men who fled were located nearby and taken into custody.
