A Queens man was arrested Thursday in connection with two burglaries in Saddle Rock and Lake Success.
Nassau County police said Juan Morales, 36, of Astoria, was arrested by Nassau  detectives at John F. Kennedy Airport in conjunction with the FBI’s Cyber Financial Crimes Task Force and United States Customs and Border Patrol.
Morales allegedly entered a Horizon Road home in Lake Success through a rear glass door on Nov. 1, 2014, and took an unspecified amount of money and jewelry, police said.
Over a year later, police said, he entered a Walters Place home in Saddle Rock on Dec. 20, 2015, and took an undetermined amount of money, jewelry, clothing and silverware.
Morales is charged with two counts of second-degree burglary, police said.
He is scheduled for arraignment in First District Court in Hempstead on Friday.
