Man Cooks Meal While Burglarizing Long Island Restaurant: Report

A man killed two birds with one stone by cooking himself a meal while he burglarized a Hicksville restaurant earlier this week, according to a report in Newsday.

The incident occurred at Nelly's Taqueria, a Mexican restaurant located at 356 W Old Country Road, early Tuesday morning.

Newsday reports the young man pried apart bars on a back window to enter the restaurant and stole about $100 from the cash register at around 1:51 a.m.

This burglar also apparently knew his way around the kitchen.

Surveillance footage showed the man putting on a pair of gloves, turning on the stove and cooking himself a meal, News12 reports.

"The way he handled that pan, man, the dude had some skills," restaurant owner Will Colon told Newsday.
