Duo busted in April home invasion in Riverside

A Mastic Beach man and his female accomplice were arrested in connection to an assault and burglary last month in a Riverside home, authorities said.
Kyle Miles, 23, is accused of breaking into the victim’s Flanders Road home just before midnight April 16, assaulted him with brass knuckles and demanded money. The victim fought back, causing Mr. Miles to flee the scene with the man’s cell phone in hand, Southampton Town Police said.
The victim was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead where he was treated for injuries to his face and released. There was also a 71-year-old man who was home at the time but was not injured, police said.
Shaniqua McClees, 26, also of Mastic Beach had visited the victim earlier in the night and then called Mr. Miles, who did not know the man, and told him where the victim lived, police said. The relationship between Ms. McClees and Mr. Miles was not immediately clear.
Police arrested Ms. McClees on Railroad Avenue in Riverhead on April 19. Police said she had her 7-year-old daughter with her at the time of arrest and during the April 16 incident. Child Protective Services was notified.
Southampton police, with the assistance of the U.S. Marshal’s Regional Task Force, arrested Mr. Miles in Calverton Hills on May 5.
