A sticky-fingered bandit made a daring donut grab at a Long Island Dunkin’ Donuts, but his escape quickly went off the rails – literally.
The donut drama occurred at the Oceanside Dunkin’ Donuts on Lawson Boulevard around 10 a.m. on Friday, December 27.
According to Nassau County Police, a masked man entered the store and took several packages of donuts before leaving without paying.
Two employees, a 19-year-old and a 47-year-old man, chased the suspect outside, resulting in a physical altercation.
The suspect dropped the stolen donuts during the scuffle before fleeing to the LIRR station across the street and boarding a westbound train.
Neither employees nor customers were injured in the incident.
Detectives described the suspect as an adult white male standing about 6-feet tall. He was last seen wearing a black ski mask, a blue hoodie over a green sweatshirt, black jeans, and black sneakers.
Anyone with information should contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.
