Gas and equipment stolen from Nassau DPW building, police say

Nassau County police arrested a Seaford man Friday and charged him with burglarizing the Nassau County’s Department of Public Works in Wantagh.

Police said Dimitrios Noutsis, 39, entered the Cedar Creek Park DPW building on Merrick Road at about 11 p.m. Thursday through a partially open garage door. Police said he stole a lawn mower battery, a sander and gasoline.

Police arrested him Friday. He was charged with third-degree burglary and was arraigned Saturday in First District Court in Hempstead. He was released without bail, according to court records.

His court-appointed attorney, Brian Carmody, could not be reached for comment.
