Police say deported Colombian native with a long rap sheet is back in the area, hiring others to help in thefts
Nassau police are scouring the Island to find a man they say was involved in about 20 burglaries in the county in the past three or four months and several more in Suffolk County, Queens and as far south as Atlanta and Florida.
Police say Pablo Castro, a convicted thief, recruited day workers from Astoria to carry out daytime burglaries, many in the New Hyde Park and Manhasset areas, said Det. Lt. Raymond Cote, commander of Nassau's Third Squad.
Castro and his accomplices are responsible for "hundreds of thousands of dollars" worth of stolen property, Cote said, and have used stolen credit cards to forge aliases and elude police.
Castro, 36, was deported to his native Colombia in 2005 after being jailed for grand larceny in 2002 and escaping from Moriah Correctional Facility upstate a year later. He was caught the next day.
