Police: Three Arrested in Cortlandt Street Burglary

One of the accused burglars is a former tenant of the home, police said.

The following is from the Westchester County Police. It does not indicate a conviction. 

Three Peekskill men were arrested after they were found allegedly removing items from an unoccupied home on Cortlandt Street on May 31 at 6 p.m.

Westchester County Police Officer Rob Kelly responded to the home after county police received a report about a possible burglary in progress. When Kelly arrived on Cortlandt Street, he observed a van leaving the home and he stopped the vehicle to investigate.  The vehicle was found to contain various household items, scrap metal items and a ride-on mower – property that was determined to belong to the homeowner and not the occupants of the vehicle.
