Police Uncover Organized Property Theft Ring In Peekskill

Peekskill police investigating a string of property thefts from local vehicles throughout the city have uncovered a much larger and more organized ring, with the arrest of a second man, said Peekskill police. Detectives investigating the case served a search warrant at the home of John Maxwell, 23, on Buena Vista Ave., on Tuesday and arrested the Peekskill man on felony identity theft and stolen property charges after finding a credit card reported stolen from a vehicle in Peekskill in late November, police said.
