Hempstead Man Arrested For Attempted Seaman Avenue Home Burglary

Two men were seen breaking into a home on Seaman Avenue late Tuesday morning, and after a foot chase ensued with police, one was arrested while the other got away, authorities said.

According to police, a neighbor saw two men trying to break into the home at 212 Seaman Ave., and called the police. Rockville Centre and Nassau County police responded to the burglary call around 11:30 a.m., and after an hour-long foot and helicopter search, one suspect was apprehended.

According to Rockville Centre Police, Nishon Parson, 36, of Hempstead, was arrested and charged with second-degree burglary and third-degree criminal trespass. The other suspect is still at large.

Adam Denenberg, an RVC resident who lives on Gateway, said one of the suspects ran through his backyard and his family was noticeably shaken from the incident. In an effort to keep his family and neighborhood safe, he started an online watch group called RVCWatch.

He said it's a good way to form a "virtual" neighborhood watch that people can use to keep the community abreast of situations.
