Authorities say a New York City man broke into his friend's house, found him dead and then stole a box of his checks instead of calling 911.
A criminal complaint says 46-year-old Raymond Santoro of Brooklyn broke into 44-year-old Staten Island resident Christopher Nargi's home last fall, and then used his mother to cash the checks seven different times — collecting around $7,100 through the scheme. Police said Wednesday that Santoro faces over 20 charges including felony burglary and larceny.
The city medical examiner says Nargi had a cardiovascular condition and died of natural causes.
Santoro is due back in court on June 12. He did not return messages seeking comment.
