Multi-Agency Operation Nabs Burglary Ring Suspects Red-Handed: Police

NEW CASTLE, NY — Four suspects tied to a Hudson Valley burglary ring have been arrested after a multi-jurisdictional operation led to a crime scene, according to police.

On May 9, around noon, the New Castle Police Department was notified by the Greenburgh Task Force that several suspects under investigation for a series of recent property crimes had just committed a residential burglary in the Town of New Castle.

New Castle police officers coordinated with the law enforcement agencies already surveilling the suspects, who were traveling in a vehicle. In what was described as a "swift and tactical operation," officers surrounded and stopped the vehicle.

Three of the four suspects in the car were taken into custody at the scene. The fourth suspect attempted to flee on foot, but was soon caught after a brief search. Stolen property was recovered by police at the scene, according to law enforcement officials.

New Castle officers located an unoccupied home nearby that showed signs of forced entry. Investigators then confirmed that the home had been burglarized by the suspects, according to police.
