A Valley Stream man faces charges after a Port Washington resident reported a suspicious male exiting her home, according to Port Washington Police.
On March 8, the woman observed a man run down the walkway of her home and enter a waiting taxi cab that then left the scene. Police say they checked the area but were unable to locate the man or the vehicle. A follow-up investigation conducted by Det. Raymond Ryan enabled police to identify the man and determine that he had stolen a cell phone and cash from the woman's home.
On Thursday, Port Washington Police detectives arrested Ivan Vigil-Ortiz, age 26, of 74 Cumberland Place in Valley Stream. He was charged with one count of burglary in the second degree, and one count of larceny.
Assistant Chief James Salerno said the taxi cab in question was not affiliated with any Port Washington company.
Vigil-Ortiz was arraigned Friday in First District Court in Hempstead.
