Police seek man who broke into Elmont home

Nassau police are searching for a man they said broke into an Elmont home Wednesday and startled a woman as she slept in her bedroom.

Fourth Squad detectives are investigating the 11:30 a.m. burglary on Freeman Avenue, but have no suspects yet, police said.
