According to detectives, Travis Dubshinski, 39, of 1324 State Route 10 entered the Tesla Motors showroom, 1350 Corporate Drive, and demanded the staff return a hard drive filled with crypto currency back to him.

He then fled the scene in his vehicle and was stopped a short time later by police at Corporate Drive and Merrick Avenue, where he was placed into custody without further incident.
