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.

ORANGETOWN, N.Y. — Detectives with the Orangetown Police Department arrested two men after intercepting a suspected fraud scheme that funneled tens of thousands of dollars in cash to a vacant residence in Tappan, authorities said.

Police said the investigation began on April 28, 2026, when a man from Utah reported that his wife had been scammed out of $6,700 through a bank account scheme. Authorities determined the money had been sent via a package delivery service to an unoccupied home in the Tappan section of Town of Orangetown.

Detectives conducting surveillance observed two individuals retrieve three packages from the residence before attempting to leave the area. Officers stopped the pair and recovered the parcels, which investigators say were tied to three separate fraud cases across the country.

According to police:

  • One package contained $6,700 linked to a bank scam involving a victim in Utah
  • A second package contained $12,500 connected to a computer virus scam targeting a victim in Illinois
  • A third package contained $24,500 associated with an FBI impersonation and identity theft scam involving a victim in Colorado

Authorities identified the suspects as Tian Quan Xie, 20, of Brooklyn, and Wei Ping Sun, 39, of Queens. Both were charged with third-degree grand larceny and fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, each classified as felonies under New York law.

The suspects were arraigned in Orangetown Justice Court and released pending a return court date of May 18, 2026.

The Orangetown Police Department’s Detective Bureau credited the Rockland County Intelligence Unit for its assistance in the investigation.
