Police: Long Island Resident Finds Stranger Sleeping In Bathroom

CORAM, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – Police are investigating a bizarre crime on Long Island.

Suffolk County Police say on Sept. 1, an unidentified resident at the Willow Wood Condominiums in Coram walked into their apartment around 8 p.m. and noticed mud on the wall and an open window.

They then found a disheveled-looking man, a complete stranger, splayed out on the bathroom floor, wrapped in a shower curtain. He had sunglasses on his head and was holding a green construction helmet.

Police say the shocked resident snapped a photo of the man then stepped out to call 911 as the suspect bolted, never saying a word.

He has yet to be caught.

Police are now looking for the odd intruder and asking for the public's help catching him.

They currently believe the suspect came into the apartment through the open window. They told CBSN New York's Scott Rapoport the condominium complex is under construction but would not draw any conclusions from that.

"That's scary. That's frightening," one Willow Wood resident said.

"He looks like the guy from 'Weekend at Bernie's,'" one construction worker said.

"Nobody knows this person. Nobody's seen this person ... He's not one of ours," developer Steven Klar said.

Cops say the suspect, once arrested, is looking at charges of criminal trespassing.

A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to his arrest.
