SCPD Helicopter Search over N. Greene & Delaware Sat. Results in Non-Criminal Activity

Resident reports of a Suffolk Police helicopter on Saturday night flying in and around North Greene and Delaware Avenues turned out to be for something non-criminally related.

According to Suffolk Police, a helicopter "went up around 6 p.m. because a resident on North Delaware Avenue called police because they saw someone climbing into a window of another house on the block."

However, police told Lindenhurst Patch, "after an investigation it was determined the person climbing through the window was a resident who locked himself out."

But the helicopter was initially sent up on April 13 "to search for a possible suspect before they found out it was a resident," said SCPD officials.
