An East Northport man found performing a lewd act in his vehicle was later accused of burglary on Monday afternoon, Nassau Police say.

Authorities approached a suspicious vehicle in front of Home Depot, located at 86 Jericho Turnpike in Westbury, to find 59-year-old Anthony Tomeo performing a lewd act at 3:25 p.m., police say.

Tomeo then fled in his vehicle westbound on Jericho Turnpike before authorities pulled him over and placed him under arrest without incident, police say.
