2 Charged With Robbing Delivery Man in Glen Cove

Two men were arrested – one on Tuesday, one on Thursday, Feb. 26 – in connection with an apparent armed robbery of a Chinese food delivery man in Glen Cove, authorities said.

Glen Cove Police say that on Dec. 3 at about 6:15 p.m. Hao Sheng Chinese restaurant on Glen Street received a call for a delivery order. The delivery address given was an unoccupied house on Burns Avenue in Glen Cove. When the delivery man arrived at the location, he was met by two men. One of the men proceeded to punch the delivery man multiple times in the face, knocking him to the ground. The other man then approached the victim, said he had a gun and produced “what appeared to be a handgun,” police said. This suspect demanded that the victim give him all of his money.

The victim turned over between $100 and $200 in cash, and the two suspects ran off, according to police.

After an investigation, Glen Cove Det. Christopher Albin identified the two suspects, police said.

On Feb. 26, Det. Lt. John Nagle arrested Jabbar McBride, 18, of Cedar Swamp Road, on Brewster Street in Glen Cove and charged him with first-degree robbery in the case. McBride was also charged with an additional count of second-degree robbery in an unrelated incident.

On Tuesday, Det. Albin arrested Lewis Linares, 23, on Bridge Street and charged him with first-degree robbery in the Dec. 3 incident. Linares does not currently have a fixed address, but said he was living with different friends in Glen Cove, police said.

Mcbride was arraigned in District Court on Friday and is being held in Nassau County Jail. Linares will be arraigned Wednesday in First District Court in Hempstead.

U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, Nassau County Probation and the Nassau County Detective Division assisted in the investigation, Nagle said.
