Two residents of Merritts Pond Road were reportedly menaced with a handgun by an unknown man sitting in a car west of their house around 11:30 p.m. last Wednesday, according to a Riverhead Town police report.

The man, who was wearing all black clothing with something covering his face, reportedly left the car and chased the two subjects back into their home, pointing the handgun at them. The unknown subject then left the area in an unknown direction, officials said.
