HAVERSTRAW, N.Y. — The Haverstraw Police Department has arrested a local man following an investigation into a recent pattern of larcenies from unlocked vehicles throughout the Village of Haverstraw, authorities said.

According to police, investigators had identified a suspect connected to multiple thefts and began canvassing the area in an effort to locate him. On Thursday, November 20, 2025, at approximately 10 p.m., plainclothes officers spotted the individual walking along a village roadway.

Officers coordinated with department UAV drone operators, who monitored the suspect from above with the hope that he might lead police to stolen property. Police say the man eventually entered a vacant building in the village, prompting ground units to move in. The suspect was taken into custody without incident.

After obtaining a search warrant for the building, officers recovered a significant amount of stolen property tied to previously reported larcenies, according to the department.

Police identified the suspect as Wellington Remigio, 37, of Haverstraw. He was transported to the Haverstraw Police Department for processing and questioning.

Remigio has been charged with:

  • Forgery 2nd Degree (Class D felony)

  • Criminal Possession of Stolen Property 5th Degree (Class A misdemeanor)

  • Sixteen counts of Criminal Possession of Stolen Property 4th Degree (Class E felony)

Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible as more property is identified and linked to reported thefts.

Police are reminding residents to lock their vehicles and report any suspicious activity. Anyone who believes they may have had items stolen recently is asked to contact the Haverstraw Police Department at 845-354-1500.
