Arrested after complaint in Continental Village
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said on Thursday (July 11) that it arrested two Bronx men on suspicion of stealing mail in Continental Village.
The sheriff said that a resident had seen someone taking mail from their mailbox on Steuben Road. A deputy was dispatched and, based on the witness description, made a traffic stop and found mail in the vehicle.
Deputies arrested Devonte A. Hamilton, 22, and Kadon J. Jackson, 22. Hamilton was charged with felony criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny, criminal impersonation (for using a fake name) and unlawful possession of personal identification and aggravated unlicensed operation, all misdemeanors.
Jackson was charged with petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and unlawful possession of personal identification. Both received appearance tickets to return to the Town of Philipstown Court.
Sheriff’s Office investigators said they have consulted with U.S. Postal inspectors to identify additional victims because the suspects were found in possession of multiple checks.
