Duo Burglarized Levittown Home, Sold Off Stolen Goods: Nassau Police

LEVITTOWN, NY — Two people were arrested and charged with burglarizing a Levittown home earlier this week, Nassau County police said.

According to police, a homeowner returned to her home on Violet Lane in Levittown just before 2 p.m. on Aug. 31 and found the front door open and a woman walking out with some of her belongings. Police say the woman got into a car driven by a man, and the two fled the scene.

Police say the stolen goods were sold, but detectives were able to recover them, which led to the two suspects.

At 6:08 p.m. on Sept. 1, police say they found the two suspects outside of a home on Circle Drive in Westbury. Police arrested Cristina Carella, 31, of Levittown, and Kyle Howell, 28, of Westbury.

Carella and Howell are each charged with second-degree burglary and third-degree grand larceny. Carella is additionally charged with second-degree burglary and criminal mischief for an incident on Arrow Lane in Hicksville that occurred on Jan. 7.

Both are scheduled to be arraigned later today in First District Court in Hempstead.
