Nassau County launched drones in an aerial search for a missing Long Island Democratic candidate whose car and clothes were found near a local beach, officials said Thursday. Petros Krommidas, who is running for a seat on the Nassau Board of Legislators, vanished Wednesday night when he went for a training swim at Long Beach, cops and family said. Petros Krommidas, 29, hasn't been seen since he set off for a training swim last Wednesday night at Long Beach. Advertisement Police later found the 29-year old's locked car by the Allegria Hotel, just near the beach he had regularly visited to train for a triathlon, his family said. He had appeared to have taken a towel with him. County Executive Bruce Blakeman said Thursday he ordered the mobilization of Nassau's Community Emergency Response Team and drone team to conduct an aerial search that began in Atlantic Beach. 'The safety and well-being of our community members is our highest priority, and we are doing everything possible to locate Petros and bring him home safely,' Blakeman said.
