Suffolk County police said the second vendor was distracted by the woman while her male companion grabbed the absent vendor’s box containing his valuables.
Witnesses said the pair then fled from the venue in a black SUV — likely a Nissan Rogue — driven by a second male accomplice, heading north on Route 110.
The victim said he has sold at the event for years with no incidents.
“I think it’s very sad it’s come to this situation that people do things like that,” he told News 12.
The investigation into the theft is ongoing.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Suffolk County Police Second Squad Detectives at (631) 854-8252 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
