On Monday, Jan. 29 at 2:33 a.m., police received a report that Veracity Stone Fabricators at 23 Daniel Rd. E, was being used to house and disassemble stolen cars, police said.
The evidence would be removed before 6 a.m., a caller told police, providing evidence of the disassembled vehicles, police said.
Police responded and found a stripped down 2016 blue Honda CRV that had been reported stolen from New York City last month, officers said. During their on-site police investigation, a suspicious Honda Ridgeline came to the property twice, police said. Police said they detained three occupants and arrested one, Hector Ramirez-Alfaro, a 29-year-old Ridgewood resident, for possession of suspected cocaine.
