The Second Squad reports the details of an Attempted Burglary that occurred at 4:38am on Thursday, June 15, 2023, in Syosset.
According to Detectives, the homeowner of a residence on Circle Drive was awoken by a loud noise that came from the first floor of his home. As the male victim, 45, walked downstairs he observed two unknown black males (dressed in all black colored clothing and masks) run across his backyard and exit. The victim ran outside and observed the two subjects enter a dark colored four door sedan vehicle with tinted windows, the car fled the scene at a high rate of speed. The investigation determined that the two subjects walked up the victim’s driveway, checked his vehicle’s door handles in an attempt to gain access to the vehicles, the vehicles were locked. This caused the subjects to enter the rear yard and attempt to open the rear sliding glass door, it was locked; and then try a basement window, causing damage to the window and making the loud noise. No entry into vehicles or home and no proceeds were reported.
Detectives request anyone with information regarding this crime to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS or to call 911. All callers will remain anonymous.
