Nassau County police said they are investigating a Mineola business storefront that suffered extensive damage after being struck by a vehicle Saturday morning that then drove away.
Police said the owner, Larry Rosenzweig of Rosenzweig Insurance at 160 Herricks Road, noticed damage and skid marks on the side walk in front of his business. He later identified through a security camera a silver vehicle striking the property at 2:05 a.m., police said.
“The driver struck the building and immediately put the car in reverse,” Rosenzweig said. He said the vehicle was traveling north-bound on Herricks Road.
Rosenzweig said he noticed a man who he believed to be the driver return to the scene and retrieve what appeared to be a license plate and a part of the vehicle.
“We weren’t able to identify the person from the video,” he said.
Rosenzweig said police are currently looking at other camera footage in the area to identify the vehicle and the driver.
Detectives request that anyone with information regarding this crime to contact the Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
