Bronx resident Christopher Almanzar was arrested on Tuesday, Oct. 15 in connection with a burglary at a Gulf gas station in Yorktown at 3451 Crompond Rd. (Route 35) that happened in February, Yorktown Police announced on Tuesday, Oct. 22.

According to the department, on Tuesday, Feb. 13 just after 3 a.m., a commercial alarm was activated at the gas station. Arriving officers soon found that a burglary had happened and that lottery tickets had been stolen from the store. 

An investigation led to the identification of several alleged suspects, who the Yorktown Justice Court soon issued arrest warrants for.  

One of these suspects, Almanzar, was contacted and told to surrender himself to the department, which he eventually did. He was charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief, and third-degree grand larceny. 

After his arrest, Almanzar was arraigned in Yorktown Justice Court and released on his own recognizance. He will again appear in court on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
