Burglaries Plague POB Area-Leave on Your LIghts and Be a Good Neighbor

This was passed along by an m.o.s. From the 8th. An attempt was made last night on a cops house in the bethpage side of plainview. Ok, confirmed burglary pattern here, plainview(bethpage area off floral) and hicksville(east side). Watching houses in evening for people leaving ( sports etc,) 5 confirmed, 2 attempts. Same m.o. Homeowner goes out, all spot lights unscrewed..most entries through sliders..in and out, often exited through a neighbors yard. On one, a neighbor remembered a white van, but was unsure if it was involved and last night, a suspicious, silver jeep laredo, what appeared to be up and down eileen off floral and making numerous slow passes. After civilian followed it, it split fast... Help the 8th, if you see any thing out of sorts, get a plate or call 911. If going out, leave lights, switch up cars etc..watch neighbors house. Pass this along to others, maybe we'll get lucky.
