On March 28, 2026, at approximately 12:05 AM, the Stony Point Police Department responded to a report from a local business owner who observed multiple individuals wearing hoods and face masks inside a warehouse storage area via remote security cameras.

Upon arrival, officers discovered an unoccupied vehicle positioned near the property entrance and located one male subject outside the warehouse. A second individual fled into a wooded area, prompting a coordinated search.

During the investigation, officers recovered property removed from the business and additional evidence. Two suspects attempting to flee the scene in a vehicle were apprehended nearby, while two additional individuals were located and arrested in the surrounding area.

In total, five suspects were taken into custody, including:
• One 18-year-old male from New City, NY
• Two 18-year-old males from Congers, NY
• Two juvenile males

All were charged with Burglary in the Third Degree, Criminal Possession of Stolen Property, and Unlawful Possession of Cannabis.

Detectives obtained surveillance footage showing the suspects inside the warehouse and later secured confessions from all individuals involved. Further investigation linked three of the suspects to a prior burglary at the same location on March 22, 2026.

The three adult defendants were processed and released on their own recognizance with court appearances scheduled for April 23, 2026. The juvenile defendants were arraigned and released to their parents, with a court date set for March 30, 2026.

The investigation was supported by the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office BCI, Haverstraw Police Department K-9 Unit, Rockland County Sheriff’s Intelligence Division, New York State Police, New York State Park Police, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force.

The Stony Point Police Department remains committed to protecting the community through proactive policing and strong interagency collaboration.

It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

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.
