Police are looking for the suspect in a burglary, who targeted a 91-year-old Marine in East Meadow, officials say.
Angelo Ciotta says the thief broke in through his kitchen window and took an engraved Marine Corps Non-commissioned Officer Ceremonial sword, an engraved K-Bar knife and a vintage Hamburg World War I rifle.
“The value [of these items] is to the person who wants it or the person who brought it back all of those years ago,” said Ciotta. “That's sentimental to me.”
Nassau police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-TIPS.
