Bill San Antonio

Two homes located just blocks apart within the unincorporated South Strathmore community were burglarized Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, Nassau County police said.

The first took place at 9:36 p.m. at a residence on Hilltop Drive, while the second happened on Mill Spring Road at 12:44 p.m. the next day, officers said.

It was unknown what proceeds were taken from each property or how many suspects authorities are seeking in connection with the burglaries. 

Police said they responded to signals from a home alarm system following the Hilltop Drive burglary.

Upon investigating the burglary, police said they found damage to the front door.

The homeowners were not at home during the burglaries, police said.

No injuries were reported.

South Strathmore Civic Association President Andrew Schwenk in an e-mail urged residents to use their alarm systems and lock their doors before going on vacation this summer.

He said police told him they can respond to a 911 call in Manhasset within two minutes.
