Obed I. Valle-Moran of Spring Valley gave detectives a statement before they charged him with seven counts of second-degree burglary, a felony, for break-ins in the Blueberry Hill neighborhood during the past 10 days, Spring Valley Detective Sgt. James Noble said. Noble said police had fingerprints and other forensic evidence linking Valle-Moran to the break-ins.
“We have overwhelming evidence,” Noble said.
What broke the case open was the efforts of the Hasidic Jewish community and the watchdog group Chaverim, which means friend in Hebrew. Group members volunteer to help people in the Orthodox Jewish communities in Ramapo.
The group’s members members helped the Ramapo police take Valle-Moran and two younger teenagers — ages 14 and 15 —into custody for questioning after a car larceny on Ellish Parkway before 2:41 a.m. Tuesday, Ramapo police Detective Lt. Mark Emma said.
“They opened the door and the Chaverim guys said, ‘Hey what are you doing?’” Emma said. “They didn’t run away but they jogged off.”
Yes hats off for chaverim police are useless in rockland. They r a proin issuing tickets.
Ant they still three little robbers on the run?
