Officials say two people have been arrested following a
minor accident on the Sagtikos State Parkway that lead to an armed robbery.
State police say three vehicles were involved in a minor
collision on Oct. 7 around 11:30 p.m. on the southbound side of the parkway
near Exit 3.
Police say two drivers got out of their cars to exchange
information and call police.
That's when police say both the driver, 22-year-old Brittany Larrea, of Selden,
and her underage passenger, got out of the third vehicle and pulled a gun on
the other drivers involved in the crash.
The passenger of that car demanded money and fired the gun
in the ground.
The pair
stole several wallets with cash and credit cards inside and a pair of sneakers.
When police tracked down the suspects, some of those
wallets and sneakers were recovered.
Larrea is
facing robbery and criminal possession of stolen property charges.
The minor
is facing the same charges - plus criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and
reckless endangerment.
