Police arrested a Williston Park man Sunday for an alleged string of five successful or attempted break-ins at North Shore homes, including one in Roslyn Harbor.
Christopher Murther, 34, of Campbell St., fought with police officers before they put him under arrest at 8:40 p.m. following a foot chase in Glen Head, Nassau County police said Tuesday.
Police found Murther on Scudders Lane in Glen Head after responding to multiple 911 calls reported someone trying to enter homes there, in Roslyn Harbor and in Glenwood Landing, police said.
An investigation found he successfully or unsuccessfully tried to enter two houses on Scudders Lane, one on Cody Avenue in Roslyn Harbor, one on Cody Avenue in Glenwood Landing and one on Smith Street in Glen Head, police said.
Murther is charged with four counts each of second-degree burglary and second-degree criminal trespass, and one count each of resisting arrest, second-degree attempted burglary and third-degree attempted criminal trespass.
Murther was admitted to an area hospital for an unrelated illness and will be arraigned as soon as it is practical, police said Tuesday.
