The Island Now

A New Hyde Park man was arrested late last Sunday night for committing two burglaries in New Hyde Park last month, the Nassau County police said.

Dinesh Singh, 31, of 104 Hillside Boulevard, New Hyde Park, was arrested without incident for the burglaries when police observed him walking south at Jericho Turnpike and South 9th Street in New Hyde Park around midnight on Aug. 4, police said.

The 3rd Precinct police officers were responding to a call about a suspicious male walking eastbound on Brooklyn Avenue towards Lakeville Road. 

When the officers saw Singh, police said, they realized he fit the description of a neighbor of one of two houses burglarized on July 24 and arrested him. 

Assorted jewelry had been stolen from a North 7th Street home and a Lowell Avenue home that day.  

Singh is charged with two counts of burglary 2nd degree. He was arraigned Tuesday at 1st District Court in Hempstead.
