Investigators assigned to the case were investigating numerous reports of homes being broken into during the early part of 2014, police said.

Investigations led to the June 12 arrest of Baisley when he was originally charged with two counts of burglary in the third degree and was incarcerated in the Putnam County Correctional Facility, police said.

A continuing investigation led to additional charges against Baisley when police found that he was accused of entering unoccupied residences, dismantling copper plumbing pipes and stealing them, according to police.

Baisley was arraigned on new charges before a judge and remanded back to the Putnam County Correctional Facility. He is due to appear in Putnam Valley Court at a later date.
