An East Williston teenager and a Mineola man were arrested on Friday in connection with a burglary in Flower Hill.

Arsati Urbina, 20, of Mineola, and Dylan Silber, 17, of East Williston, entered an occupied house on Hunters Lane in Flower Hill around 3 a.m. on Friday and stole cash, jewelry and other items, police said.

The two men entered the home through an open garage door and were chased out when a 61-year-old female resident heard their voices and woke up her son, police said.

No injuries were reported.

Nassau County police officers found and arrested the men on Charles Street in Mineola at 4:53 a.m.

Silber and Urbina were looking into cars with flashlights when police found them.

Both were charged with second-degree burglary, fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Police also charged Urbina with fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.

Bail for both men was set at $20,000 bond or $10,000 cash. They are due back in court Tuesday.
