SPRING VALLEY, NY – Swatting Incident at Target in the Spring Valley Marketplace

UPDATE (11:00pm) via Spring Valley Police Department

On 12/10/2020 at approximately 1735 hrs, the Spring Valley Police Department received a phone call from a male in the Target Store at the Spring Valley Marketplace who stated he was armed, had multiple hostages, and placed explosives throughout the store.

The Spring Valley Police Department immediately dispatched units to the location and the incident turned into a multi-departmental operation being lead by the Spring Valley Police Department.

The Target Store was evacuated and cleared by agencies on scene as well as numerous Canine Units from throughout the state.

Once the Target Store was deemed safe of any immediate threat, the store was re-opened as well as the rest of vehicular and pedestrian traffic to the Spring Valley Marketplace. Although the investigation is currently pending, it appears that the initial call was a “swatting” incident.

Police, South Nyack Grandview Police, FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (A.T.F.), Spring Valley Fire Department, Spring Hill Community Ambulance Corps, and Rockland County Paramedic Services.

By

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.
