The Haverstraw Police Department continues to make significant progress in its ongoing investigation into a series of larcenies from vehicles in the Garnerville area. Last evening, officers apprehended two more individuals in connection with these crimes.
Miciah Cozart, 19, and Rinoe Mitchell, 19, were taken into custody and face multiple counts of grand larceny and petit larceny. In addition to the larceny charges, Cozart was found to have two outstanding warrants for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree. He also faces new charges, including attempted burglary in the second degree, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration.
Cozart was arraigned in the Village of Haverstraw Justice Court, with bail set at $25,000 cash, $50,000 bond, or $75,000 partially secured bond. Meanwhile, Mitchell was released on an appearance ticket.
“Our department is doing great work every day making sure that individuals committing crimes in our area are brought to justice,” said Chief John J. Gould Jr. “We will not rest until the job is done.”
The Haverstraw Police Department’s investigation remains active, and further information will be released as it becomes available.
It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
