Prosecutors Say Defendant Targeted Office Suites Across Queens
In a post on X, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said the defendant was charged with multiple burglaries and one attempted burglary at commercial buildings in Long Island City, Woodside, Maspeth and Jamaica. She said that, as alleged, he treated private office buildings as places he could walk into and help himself to cash and other items.
