A Selden man was arrested and charged Sunday for allegedly committing nine burglaries at Suffolk County businesses over the past three months, police said.
He was also charged with an attempted burglary and a petit larceny at two other businesses, according to Suffolk police.
Michael Parise, 49, was arrested after he broke the window of a Subway restaurant on Middle Country Road in Selden shortly before 10 a.m. Sunday and stole cash out of a register and coins from a donation jar, Suffolk police said in a news release. Parise was located a little more than an hour later on Middle Country Road in Coram.
Investigators then linked Parise to eight additional burglaries since Nov. 27, as well as an attempted burglary at Peking Chinese Kitchen in Selden on Sunday and a Dec. 26 petit larceny at a Stony Brook McDonald’s, according to the news release.
Police said in each of the burglaries Parise entered a business by breaking a door or window and stealing cash.
Parise is charged with third-degree burglary for alleged break-ins at the following businesses in addition to the alleged break-in at the Subway in Selden on Sunday:
- Subway, Stony Brook, on Nov. 27
- Ssambap Korean BBQ, Stony Brook, on Dec. 16
- Orangetheory Fitness, Stony Brook, on Dec. 24
- Hype Cut and Color Bar, Smithtown, on Dec. 27
- Tainos Café and Lounge, Coram, on Dec. 27
- Bagel Café of Stony Brook, on Jan. 5
- Kimochi Bubble Tea, Selden, on Jan. 31
- Middle Country Animal Hospital, Selden, on Feb. 2
Parise pleaded not guilty Monday at his arraignment before District Court Judge Bernard Cheng in Central Islip. Bail was set at $75,000 cash or $225,000 bond, court records show. He remained in custody late Monday.
Attorneys with the Suffolk County Legal Aid Society, which is representing Parise, could not be reached for comment.
