Suffolk County Police today arrested a man who robbed two Babylon Village businesses earlier this year.
Michael Riggs entered Kilwins, located at 130 Deer Park Ave., on January 21, 2018 and demanded cash. Employees complied with his demand and he fled on foot. On February 15, 2018, he robbed the European Image Tanning and Sunless Center located at 1 Park Avenue.
After a thorough investigation by First Squad detectives, Riggs was arrested at the intersection of the North Sunrise Service Road and Brookside Avenue in North Babylon at approximately 5:55 p.m. He was charged with two counts of Robbery 3rd Degree and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 7th Degree.
Riggs will be held at the First Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on April 25.
