Police Officer Bailey was aware of a burglary pattern in the Elmont area. He also knew of a larceny that occurred at this address earlier in the week. The subject lives in the basement apartment. Officer Bailey intensified his patrol in the hardest hit areas of Elmont. He observed a vehicle being driven by the subject wanted for the larceny. The subject had a suspended license and was in possession of stolen property. He was transported to the Fifth Precinct where he admitted to the burglary. Pawnshop tickets were recovered for the stolen jewelry.
