Four Queens Chinese Men Arrested in Long Island Warehouse Armed Robbery, Nassau Police Announce October 27; Robbery Occurred August 10
Syosset, Nassau County, New York — In an armed robbery case announced by Nassau County police on Long Island on October 27, four Chinese men from Flushing and College Point in Queens, New York City, have been arrested one after another in Queens, and the case remains under further proceedings.
According to police, the robbery occurred at about 10:15 a.m. on August 10, 2026, at a warehouse facility at 225 Underhill Boulevard in Syosset on Long Island. The four men entered the warehouse, produced firearms to threaten and control several workers on site, bound the victims' hands behind their backs with plastic zip ties they had brought, and then carried away multiple pallets of goods, including cannabis products and cash carried by the victims, before fleeing.
The Nassau County Police Department's Major Case Bureau, together with its Electronic Crimes Unit and Special Operations Bureau, investigated for more than two months and arrested all four suspects. Police identified them as Yuanjun Wang, 23, Junjie Chen, 25, Jiyong Mi, 30, and Shuai Yang, 34. Wang, Chen and Mi were arrested in Queens on October 14, and Yang was arrested on October 23; all four have been arraigned in Nassau County First District Court and are charged with first- and second-degree robbery.
Police have not said whether the warehouse held a lawful operating license, nor whether the suspects had advance inside knowledge that large quantities of cannabis and cash were stored there. The above are allegations announced by police, subject to determination through judicial proceedings, and do not mean the defendants have been convicted. New York State currently allows legal recreational cannabis and licenses its commercial production, transport and storage.
