Nassau Man Arrested For Shooting At Neighbor's Garage: Police

A Wantagh man was arrested by Nassau police Monday after police say they linked him to shooting a house in Wantagh and stealing from a house in Levittown in July.

A man from Sarah Drive in Wantagh called the police on Monday to report that he found bullet holes in his garage door frame. A neighbor with a security camera had video that police say showed Rocko Fox, 20, of Helene Street, shooting a handgun toward the garage door on July 14.

Police went to Fox's house and he allowed them to search his home. Police say they found a safe that matched the description of one stolen from a home on Knoll Lane in Levittown on July 13. Inside, police found two semi-automatic handguns.

Rocko was placed under arrest on Monday at 11:40 p.m. He is charged with second-degree burglary, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and third-degree criminal mischief. He is scheduled to be arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Tuesday.
