A Brooklyn man was arrested early Friday in Mineola and charged in an auto theft, Nassau County police said.
Police said officers were sent to Beebe Road in the early morning hours on a call of suspicious males attempting to break into vehicles parked on the street.
After an investigation, Kevin Rosales, 19, of Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn, was taken into custody “without incident” around 4:10 a.m., according to a news release. Rosales was in possession of keys to a 2019 Nissan Armada that had been reported stolen days earlier and was found nearby. Officials said the car was stolen in New York City.
Rosales was charged with second-degree, fourth-degree and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. He was arraigned on Saturday in Nassau County Court and released on his own recognizance. His next date in court will be Sept. 21.
