Police have arrested at least two people following a knifepoint robbery at a Carvel ice cream shop on Long Island Monday night, authorities say.
Investigators are questioning the suspects to see if they are linked to other knifepoint robberies in which at least 17 other businesses around Nassau and Suffolk counties were held up, police said.
On Monday night shortly before 10 p.m., the suspects robbed the Carvel on New York Avenue in Huntington Station, officials said.
The latest robbery in the knifepoint crime spree was Sunday at The Barn, a convenience store in Lake Ronkonkoma, according to authorities.
A man armed with a knife walked inside the store and ran away with cash from the register, police said.
Investigators said the suspect fits the description of the knifepoint robber.
