Riverhead Police Report

Riverhead Police are on the hunt for two men (pictured at right), who pulled off a smash-and-grab burglary at Paul’s Cleaners in Riverhead last month — and they need the public’s help in finding them.

Officials on Tuesday released two photographs taken from surveillance cameras during the Aug. 31 heist. The two men, one in a black hoodie, one in a white hoodie, smashed a glass door at the Route 58 cleaner’s, ransacked the business and made off with cash and change from two registers, police said.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 cash reward for any information that helps lead to an arrest. Call 800-220-TIPS.
