Follow up: Police arrest 7 in string of auto break-ins
Four young men from Spring Valley and Central Nyack were arrested this morning in the parking lot of the Central Nyack McDonald’s on Route 59. According to the Journal News, the vehicle they were in was spotted by a Clarkstown police officer, looking for the vehicle after a resident on Mirth Dr in Valley Cottage spotted the group outside her home at 5:30am. When police found them, they were in possession of some of the items stolen in previous auto break-ins in the area, as well as a large cup of change. Ironically, one of the four, Brian Jones of Central Nyack, played for Nyack High School’s basketball team, and was the team leader in steals.
Another three teens were detained today, suspected of breaking into autos in West Nyack, although police have not charged them yet. The teens were arrested 2:30am yesterday after a resident spotted them in a driveway.
