Suffolk Police Seek Suspects in Kings Park 7-Eleven Theft, Reward Offered

Suffolk County Police Fourth Precinct Crime Section officers are asking the public to help identify two men who walked into the 7-Eleven at 655 East Main St. in Kings Park around 6:15 p.m. on Jan. 25 and stole Beatbox cocktails, according to Suffolk County Crime Stoppers. Security images released by Crime Stoppers show both men wanted in connection with the petit larceny; the value of the stolen merchandise was not immediately released.

The Kings Park store was targeted a second time less than a week later. A man allegedly stole assorted food and drinks from the same East Main Street location at 1:13 a.m. on January 31 and fled the scene in a black Cadillac, according to Fourth Precinct Crime Section officers. That incident is also the subject of a separate public appeal for identification.

On social media, community members circulated the incidents under the nickname "Booze Bandits," though Suffolk County Police have not used that label in their official appeals.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest in either case. Anyone with information can submit an anonymous tip by calling 1-800-220-TIPS, downloading the P3 Tips app through the Apple App Store or Google Play, or visiting P3Tips.com. All calls, text messages, and emails will be kept confidential, police said.
