Cops: Freeport man busted after 5-month burglary spree

Police said he broke into American Burgers, Millennium Discount, the Hoo King Chinese restaurant, Sole and The Biggest Banana. Now, the five-month-long string of burglaries police said Pedro Infante committed is over following his arrest Wednesday — at a state parole office in Farmingdale.

Nassau County police said Infante, 36, of Washington Place, Freeport, was arrested at 5:45 p.m. at the New York State Parole Office, linked to the five burglaries by evidence “left behind” during the commission of one of those burglaries — evidence that led to his arrest.

Police did not detail that evidence Thursday.

Infante was charged with five counts of third-degree burglary in connection with the break-ins, which occurred between Nov. 13 and Tuesday, when police said Infante tripped an alarm at the Sole restaurant on Oceanside Road in Oceanside during a break-in at 12:45 a.m. He fled without stealing anything, police said.

The first burglary occurred at American Burgers at 326A Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre at 12:05 a.m. on Nov. 13, police said. It was followed by break-ins at: Millennium Discount, 58 South Main Street, Freeport, at 12:04 a.m. on Dec. 14; The Biggest Banana, 3359 Long Beach Road, Oceanside, at 3:26 a.m. on March 26; Hoo King Chinese restaurant, 3291 Long Beach Road, Oceanside, at 12:45 a.m. on April 5; and, the break-in at Sole in Oceanside.

Infante is scheduled for arraignment Thursday in First District Court in Hempstead.
