Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh, II, announced the arrest of 24-year-old Charles Breslow from New City, NY, following a four-month investigation by the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force into Ghost Guns. On April 7, 2025, a search warrant was executed at Breslow’s home, where authorities found a loaded 9mm Ghost Gun and multiple high-capacity magazines.

Breslow faces charges, including two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Third Degree (for the high-capacity magazines), Criminal Possession of a Firearm, and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree.

District Attorney Walsh stated that Ghost Guns are untraceable firearms assembled from kits or individual components, making them just as dangerous as regular, serialized firearms. He reiterated his office’s dedication to removing illegal firearms from the community and stressed that the investigation remains ongoing, with law enforcement working together to ensure public safety.

The investigation was carried out by the Rockland County Drug Task Force, with support from the Westchester County Police Narcotics Unit and the Clarkstown Police Department. Breslow was arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court and remanded to jail on $25,000 bail. As with all criminal cases, Breslow is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

On April 2, 2025, at approximately 12:45 PM, officers from the Clarkstown Police Department responded to a report of three males trespassing and smoking marijuana in the laundry room of the New City Garden Apartments, located at 160 N Main St, New City.
Upon arrival, officers observed the three males sitting on top of washing machines while smoking marijuana. After identifying the individuals, officers conducted a warrant check, which revealed that one of the males, identified as Julio Martinez, 24, of Stony Point, had an active warrant out of Dutchess County for possession of a weapon. Officers handcuffed and searched Julio Martinez, discovering a loaded 9mm magazine in the pocket of his vest. A brief search of the area where Martinez had been sitting led to the recovery of a SIG semi-automatic handgun. During the investigation, it was determined that the recovered firearm was the same weapon reported stolen to the Clarkstown Police Department by the registered owner just a week earlier. Detectives interviewed the other two males involved and released them thereafter.
In addition to the warrant out of Dutchess County, Martinez now faces the following additional charges as a result of this arrest:
– Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd Degree (Loaded Firearm Class C Felony
– Criminal Possession of a Firearm—Class E Felony
– Criminal Possession of Stolen Property—Class E Felony
– Unlawful Possession of Certain Ammunition Feeding Devices—Misdemeanor
Julio Martinez was arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court and where his bail was set at $10,000 cash, $20,000 bond, or $40,000 partially secured bond. He was transferred to the Rockland County Jail at the conclusion of the arraignment.
This arrest reflects the ongoing efforts of the Clarkstown Police Department to ensure the safety and security of our community by addressing illicit criminal behavior.
It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
