(October 2, 2008) The burglary suspect arrested last week in connection with two recent Mamaroneck Town break-ins has been tied to five additional crimes in Mamaroneck Town, two in Larchmont Village and several more in Scarsdale, New Castle and Harrison. (See: Arrest Made in Recent Burglaries.)

According to Mamaroneck Town Police Detective Lt. Jerry McCarthy, over the past week, police executed search warrants for Kevin McBride’s vehicle, his residence in Croton-on-Hudson, a storage facility in New Rochelle and a pawn shop in Harlem.

“We recovered a lot of property believed to be stolen in the burglaries,” said Lt. McCarthy. “We got a substantial amount of jewelry out of the pawn shop.“

Mr. McBride was arrested by Mamaroneck Town Police as he was driving into Port Chester on September 20. Since then, detectives have been going through a laborious process of executing search warrants, gathering items believed to have been stolen and working with victims to have items identified . A number of residents were expected in the Mamaroneck Town Police Department on Thursday, October 2 to fill out sworn affidavits identifying property as items stolen from their homes in recent months.

“One we felt particularly good about was a Cornell University ring with the monogram of the owner,” said Lt. McCarthy.

Among the items identified were those from two burglaries in Larchmont Village, both on Saturday, September 13. (See:After Break-ins, Residents Warned to Lock Doors & Windows )

Other items were linked to Mamaroneck Town burglaries going back at least as far as June 18. (See: Patio Door Burglars Hit Mamaroneck Town.)

“This is still an active, ongoing investigation,” said Lt. McCarthy, when asked if there was a possibility of ties to additional burglaries that occurred earlier in the year.
