North Fork resident assaulted during burglary, police say

A resident of the North Fork's tiny Aquebogue hamlet was burglarized and assaulted — with money taken from his bedroom — by someone who then drove off in a gray pickup on Tuesday evening, Riverhead Police said.

"At this point in the investigation it is believed that this burglary was not random and is an isolated incident," police said in a statement.

The pickup headed east on Hubbard Avenue after the 7:40 p.m. burglary, police said.

The victim's minor injuries were treated at a hospital, police said.

Anyone who has information about these crimes should call the Riverhead Police at 631-727-4500. All calls are confidential.
