A Mineola woman confronted a burglar in the dining room of her house last Sunday afternoon, Nassau County Police said.
Police detectives said that a man broke a small rear window to gain entry into a Jerome Avenue house at 12:45 p.m. on Sunday. The female homeowner heard a noise and went into the dining room, where she found a white or Hispanic male who immediately fled the house through the same window he used to enter it.
There was nothing taken from the house and the woman was not injured, police said.
Detectives are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
