Cops investigate North Massapequa burglary

A North Massapequa resident, awakened by a noise early Sunday, got out of bed to find that someone had pried open a basement window and opened a rear sliding door, entering the home and taking cash, two cellphones and a purse, police said.

The West Drive resident, 59, said the intruder entered sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 4:40 a.m.

When he went to investigate the noise he found the rear sliding doors open and, in the backyard, saw that his shed doors were open and his bicycle missing; and he saw the open basement window.
