Incidents

• Police reported that they received three calls about harassment on Route 109 on Jan. 29.
• Police reported that an 84-year-old man answered a knock on his Bethpage door Wednesday afternoon and was met by a suspect who claimed to be buying a home directly behind the victim's. The elderly man invited the suspect in and spent 5-10 minutes together discussing the neighborhood, all the while looking out the victim's back window toward the yard, police said. When the intruder left, the victim received a phone call from a neighbor who reported that a man fitting the same description as the intruder had knocked on her front door. He was described as a white male, about 5’10,” with a stocky build, wearing a black jacket with a gray fur collar. The elderly man looked around his home and discovered assorted jewelry and money had been taken. Police were alerted and a manhunt ensued. Police from the Eighth Precinct decended on the area off Stewart Avenue and canvassed the local streets. A police helicopter was launched and was heard circling in the vicinity, witnesses said.
