Surveillance footage turned a man from a witness into a suspect in two burglaries in New Windsor early Friday morning.
New Windsor police lieutenant Michael Farbent reports that officers responded to an alarm at the Smokes for Less store on Route 32 shortly after 2 am to find a broken front door and a cigarettes stolen. No suspects were located there.
An hour-and-a-half later, another alarm alerted police to a burglary in progress at the Valley Farms Sunoco Station on Route 94 in New Windsor. Officers again found a smashed front door but this time they stopped a man walking away from the scene who said he was a witness to the burglary.
Surveillance cameras at both locations, however, told a different story and police identified the man they had interviewed as the burglar. When they returned to speak with him, he had fled into a nearby apple orchard.
With the assistance of city of Newburgh K-9 Unit (Officer Kevin Lahar and K-9 Tanzo) the suspect was found and arrest. Toshiro Jenkins, 22, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was charged two cfelony ounts of burglary in the third-degree, two felony counts of criminal mischief and a felony count of grand larceny. Police are still looking for an accomplice. Anyone who can assist in identifying the second suspect is asked to call New Windsor Police Detective Christopher Sager at (845) 565-7000.
