Marino stole medication from an apartment on Aug. 1 and possessed stolen jewelry which he sold to pawn shops on Sept. 18 and Sept. 24, police said. He also was observed entering an apartment without permission on Nov. 23.

The investigation is continuing and police believe there may be additional victims who reside or have resided at the complex. Anyone who believes they are a victim and has not yet filed a police report is asked to contact the Fourth Precinct Crime Section at 631-854-8466.
