Crimes Nearby: SUV Slams Into House, Multiple Robberies

The following information was supplied by the Nassau, Suffolk and Rockville Centre police departments. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate convictions.

A SUV slammed so hard into the side of a Malverne home Thursday morning that it knocked the building off its foundation.

The white 2002 BMW X5, which was travelling north on Ocean Avenue, struck a home located across from the Hempstead Avenue and Ocean Avenue intersection around 6 a.m. It took out the house's staircase, stranding two occupants on the second floor, who were awoken from their sleep, and sent the chimney toppling over into the side yard.

Malverne Police Chief John Aresta told Patch that the accident appeared to be caused by "excessive speeding" and that there was nothing indicating that alcohol played a factor.

Nassau County Police said the driver was a 23-year-old Oceanside man, who The New York Post identified as Michael Loise. He was "bloody" and "banged up," but stable and alert when firefighters pulled him out of his vehicle, according to Malverne Assistant Fire Chief James Lang.

The house was deemed uninhabitable, according to Malverne's Buildings Department. The vehicle was impounded for a brake and safety check and the investigation is ongoing.

It took a jury three hours to convict a Hempstead man of burglarizing a Seaman Avenue home in Rockville Centre last November, but his partner in crime is still on the lam.

Nishon Parson, 36, of Hempstead, faces up to 15 years in prison at his July 27 sentencing.

According to Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice, on Nov. 29 at around 11 a.m., Parson and another man broke into a Seaman Avenue home. A neighbor saw the men entering the home through a back window and called village police. An RVC police sergeant responded minutes later and saw electronics piled up at the home’s door. When he entered the house, the sergeant confronted Parson and the other thief.

Rice said Parson pretended to comply with the officer’s commands, but both men ran from the cops. After police set up a perimeter, Parson was found several blocks away hiding under a tarp in a shed. His accomplice was never caught.

A Rockville Centre man was arrested on June 9 after he allegedly tried to steal a woman's pocketbook out of her shopping cart at Home Goods.

According to Nassau County detectives, around 5 p.m., Joseph Incao, 33, reached into the shopping cart of a 57-year-old female victim while she was shopping in the Home Goods located at 150 North Village Ave. Incao grabbed the victim's pocketbook and attempted to run out of the store.

A witness attempted to stop Incao who tried to push past him to exit the store, police said. A second customer in the store came to the assistance of the witness and they were able to detain Incao until the Rockville Centre Police arrived and placed him under arrest.

No injuries were reported at this time.

Police arrested two homeless men they say acted together to  two weeks ago.
