Playstation stolen from Glen Cove Avenue apartment on Sept. 12.
A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate a conviction.
The Glen Cove Police Department has declined to provide the names of the arrested. The City of Glen Cove Police Department reported the following arrests from Sept. 22-27.
A 14-year-old and a 16-year-old were arrested recently in connection with an apartment burglary on Glen Cove Avenue, say Glen Cove Police.

Detective Glennon of the Glen Cove Police obtained the surveillance video from the building as well as surveillance recordings from other buildings in the area. Once Detective Glennon reviewed the video recordings he quickly identified the suspect caught in the surveillance video.

According to Detective Lieutenant Nagle, “It was the second time this month that surveillance cameras caught a crime in progress.”
