Crimes Nearby: Robbers in Disguise, Fight With Cops

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

Two black males posing as utility workers robbed a Lakeview home Monday night, police say.

According to detectives for Nassau County's Fifth Precinct, the two men approached a home on Ontario Road around 9:55 p.m. on July 25. When a 20-year-old female resident opened the front door, they forced her back inside the living room using a handgun. The girl's friend, a 23-year-old man, was forced to the ground at gunpoint, police said.

The landlord and his male friend, both 28, arrived at the home, and the friend was dragged in. The landlord was able to escape and call police.

The two attackers then fled with a large bag of unknown proceeds and the cell phones and wallets of the victims. No injuries were reported.

A Long Beach man with a history of driving drunk was arrested Monday night after police chased him and he fought with an officer, authorities said.

The suspect, identified as Timothy Schroeder, 38, was finally subdued by four officers and with the help of a Good Samaritan.

Police later determined that Schroeder had three prior DWI convictions and was required to have an interlock device installed in his car, which he was supposed to breathe into before operating the vehicle, authorities said. He was also driving with a suspended license.
