What started as an apparent routine traffic stop uncovered a machete-wielding man's robbery and kidnapping attempt on Long Island, police said.
Police conducting an investigation Saturday at the Edgewood Motel in Jericho witnessed a red Ford pickup truck leave the parking lot with four occupants inside. About 1.5 miles from the motel, officers pulled the driver over around 6:45 p.m. at Cambridge Avenue and Warren Street in Westbury for failing to perform a complete stop. What came next was far from routine.
All four occupants were asked to step out of the truck after one of the passengers"appeared to be in distress," police said. Once outside, one of the backseat passengers bolted.
