Crimes Nearby: Burglary Suspect on the Lam, Attempted Murder and Potts Sentencing

The following information was supplied by the Nassau County, Rockville Centre, Lynbrook and Long Beach police departments. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate convictions.

A man broke into a Rockville Centre apartment at 11 a.m. on Friday, but when a resident inside the home confronted him, the suspect fled out of the same window he entered from, officials said.

According to village spokesman Jeff Kluewer, a man hopped through a window of a Maple Avenue apartment near Powell Road on Friday morning. The resident asked the suspect what he was doing, Kluewer said, who answered that he "had the wrong apartment" and exited through the same window he came in.

The suspect did not leave with any property, Kluewer said, and the resident was unharmed and called the police. Kluewer added that he did not have a description of the burglar, and that he is still on the run.
