Police: Long Island burglar apologizes to victim during home invasion

HICKSVILLE (WABC) -- A suspected burglar is under arrest on Long Island after he allegedly broke into a home and apologized to a woman inside before leaving.

Police say 34-year-old Shane Lopez was arrested Saturday after he broke into a home in Hicksville.

The 24-year-old victim said she heard her window break and then heard a man say "I'm sorry."

He was taken into custody and charged with second-degree burglary. Police say nothing appeared to have been taken from the home.
