JERICHO / Man charged in break-ins at apartment, five cars

Nassau police arrested a Brooklyn man after, officials say, he broke into a Jericho apartment and five nearby cars Sunday morning.

About 1:20 a.m., Segura-Constantino went into the Jericho apartment on 21st Street through an unlocked front door, police said. A barking dog alerted residents inside, two men, 22 and 20, who then went to investigate, police said.

When the two men spotted Segura-Constantino, police say he ran out of the house without taking anything.

About an hour later, police arrested him after an officer saw Segura-Constantino coming out of a house on 22nd Street, police said. Segura-Constantino also broke into five cars Sunday and was carrying several items when he was arrested, police said.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in First District Court in Hempstead.
