Nassau Detectives Charge Lindenhurst Man in Two Crimes
Suspect surrenders to detectives in Woodbury following two-month investigation.
Following a two-month investigation, Nassau detectives in Woodbury's second precinct arrested a Lindenhurst man Tuesday in connection with two separate crimes committed in West Islip and Wantagh.
Robert Marlow, 23 of 189 33rd St., Lindenhurst, surrendered to detectives early Tuesday morning.
Detectives said that on Sunday, Oct. 26, a 20-year-old woman was conducting her personal banking when she observed an unauthorized transaction made with her debit card at a food store in West Islip. The victim then checked her wallet and discovered the card missing. Surveillance footage showed Marlow, using the card without authorization, police said.
Then, on Monday, Nov. 18, the defendant gained entry to a residence on Red Maple Drive South in Wantagh by breaking the glass of a rear window, detectives said.
Marlow removed assorted jewelry and fled the scene. He then pawned the jewelry at locations in West Babylon and Massapequa Park, police said.
