Weber and her family were not home at the time when burglars broke her back window to try and gain access. She says the Lake Success police quickly arrested the crew. It did not take long for Nassau County detectives to link them to six other home burglaries in Manhasset, Herricks, Mineola, Jericho and Plainview.
Nassau County police placed the items they were able to recover on full display — jewelry, watches, sports memorabilia and a gun. Police also announced the arrest of four other men, all from Venezuela, for stealing nearly $13,000 worth of items from the Macy’s store in Roosevelt Field on Jan. 9. All eight men, police said, had within the past year entered the country at the border as asylum seekers. Commissioner Patrick Ryder of the Nassau County Police believes they are part of a larger crime syndicate.
