It happened on Monday, June 10 in Lawrence, according to Nassau County Police.
At about 10:50 a.m., a man riding a green mountain bike walked up to a Cumberland Place residence and went through an unlocked door.
He left his bike and instead swiped the 49-year-old homeowner’s Cannondale Mountain bicycle, which was worth $600, and rode off, heading west on Cumberland Place.
No injuries were reported.
Police described the suspect as a Hispanic man who is about 5-foot-10 with a medium build. He is estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old.
He was seen wearing a gray long-sleeved sweatshirt, a blue baseball cap with white letters, gray pants, white sneakers, and a black backpack.
