Alleged
Rapist Caught
by Annette Ling
Excellent well-coordinated
police work led to the arrest of
Leroy Hamlin, 28, of 97-25 47th
Place, Jamaica.
A series of brutal rape-robberies
have terrorized women
in Valley Stream, Lynbrook,
Malverne and Woodmere since
last March. The modus operandi
or method of attack was to have
the rapist or attacker wearing a
ski-mask jump from con-cealment
behind bushes on dark
streets at night and threaten his
victims at knife-point.
Hamlin would work Mondays
through Wednesdays from 1 a.m.
to 9 a.m. as a car cleaner for the
Long Island Railroad at the Far
Rockaway Yard. From 11 a.m.
Thursday until 4 p m. Saturday
he would be serving his Nassau
County jail sentence where he
was serving a one year's in-termittent
term for the robbery
of a 21 year old New Hyde Park
woman.
Police believe that he used his
LIRR lunch-break for his alleged
activities. Most of the evidence as
to the times of the rapes could
have occurred in the periods
he was free from his duties with
LIRR. One victim has identified
him and a ski mask has also been
found. Hamlin is married and the
father of two children. Personnel
of the Fourth and Fifth Precinct
have been carefully working on
the case.
Under Nassau County
procedure, many prisoners can
serve their sentences and work
for stipulated hours to help
support their families. The time
element of the attacks and the
free time of the alleged rapist are
being carefully studied under the
direction of Capt. Carroll Kaiser
with many special police
department units including
Nassau County policeman from
the special rape and fraud units.

During the summer months,
blood supplies are at their lowest

residents who donate a pint of
blood can credit it to the Knights
of Columbus Blood Bank Com-mittee,
or can use it for protec-tion
coverage of themselves and
their families in case of sickness
or accident.
Inter-County Blook Banks, a
non-profit, volunteer, charity
organization was founded in 1942.
It serves 50,000 residents an-nually

Nassau County Crime Council
and has lectured at various
Police Training Schools. He has

Chief Waring is that rare in-dividual
who has spanned the
years from quiet suburban
country village to modern crack
suburban community growing
right along with his community
and keeping the Lynbrook Police
Force one of the best in the
country. Most all Lynbrookites
know the quiet, modest silver
haired gentleman on a "Hi,
there. Chief" basis and are
hoping that he will still be a vital
part of Lynbrook with his years
of expertise in his field while he
enjoys some vacationing and
some much needed relaxation
and retirement enjoyment.
Walter Waring is very much
beloved in Lynbrook and has
served Lynbrook with great
honor and distinction. All of us
wish him many happy years.
