Two Arrests Made In Nissequogue Home Burglary

Suffolk County Police today arrested two men for burglarizing a Nissequogue home and then setting the victim’s vehicle on fire last month.

Two masked men armed with shotguns entered a Nissequogue home on September 26 at approximately 8 a.m. and demanded cash and valuables from the homeowners. The men stole assorted jewelry, electronics, and a 2006 Lexus. The two victims inside the home were not injured. The men fled in the Lexus and set it on fire at the Lake Ronkonkoma County Park approximately 30 minutes after leaving the house.

After an extensive investigation by Fourth Squad and Arson Squad detectives, Louis Martini, 21, and Anthony Hlatky-Mupo, 21, both of Selden were arrested separately in Selden this morning. Both were charged with Burglary 1^st Degree and Arson 3^rd Degree. They will be held overnight at the Fourth Precinct and are scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on October 15.

A criminal charge is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
