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.

A grand jury in Lower Manhattan indicted former NYPD detective Victor Romero on a second-degree murder charge Tuesday afternoon, upgrading the charge from manslaughter as the investigation into a fatal shooting continues.

Romero, a Haverstraw resident, was seen publicly for the first time Tuesday as he arrived at a Lower Manhattan courthouse in connection with the fatal shooting of Koran Irvine on the George Washington Bridge. He later left the courthouse following a brief court appearance.

The indictment marks a significant development in the case against Romero, who was initially charged with murder before being arraigned last week on a reduced charge of first-degree manslaughter.

Romero posted $1 million bail and remains free while the case proceeds through the court system.

October 26, 2026 — Three Haverstraw police officers were injured after a suspect allegedly struck and ran over an officer while fleeing police during a response to a reported attempted break-in on October 23, according to the Haverstraw Police Department.

Police said officers responded to a residence in the Village of Haverstraw at approximately 4:41 p.m. for a report of a disorderly male attempting to break into a residence.

Responding officers located a vehicle matching the description provided. As officers gave the driver verbal commands to exit the vehicle, the suspect allegedly accelerated directly toward an officer, striking and running over the officer before fleeing the scene.

The suspect then led officers on a pursuit southbound along Route 9W into Clarkstown before turning northbound toward Haverstraw, police said.

The pursuit ended after the suspect allegedly crashed into a Haverstraw Police Department vehicle occupied by police personnel. The suspect was subsequently taken into custody.

Three Haverstraw police officers were transported to local hospitals for treatment of injuries sustained during the incident. The suspect, identified as Isaac Catedral, 24, of Haverstraw, was also transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation.

  • Aggravated Attempted Murder
  • Assault in the Second Degree
  • Assault in the Third Degree
  • Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree
  • Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Seventh Degree
  • Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree

Catedral was arraigned on the morning of October 26 in the Village of Haverstraw Justice Court and remanded to the Rockland County Correctional Facility.

Multiple Agencies Assist

The Haverstraw Police Department received assistance from the Stony Point Police Department, Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, Clarkstown Police Department, New York State Police, and Ramapo Police Department.

The incident remains a serious reminder of the dangers police officers face while responding to emergency calls and attempting to apprehend suspects.
