Two men stolen money from Stony Brook

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and Suffolk County Police Sixth Precinct Crime Section officers are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the men who stole money during a quick-change scam from two businesses this month.

Two men distracted a cashier during a transaction on February 10 at 6:30 p.m. at Lowe’s Home Improvement, located at 2796 Route 112 in Medford, by asking for change of a $100 bill. The pair changed their mind multiple times about the denomination of change they wanted back while also claiming they were shortchanged during their purchase, stealing $650. 

The pair fled in a silver Chrysler Pacifica without license plates. A short time later, the pair  stole $300 during a similar scam at Lowe’s Home Improvement, located at 2150 Nesconset Highway in Stony Brook.
