Eric Raphael Flores, Age 43 of Valley Cottage, NY, was sentenced June 14, 2011, before New York State Acting Supreme Court Justice William K. Nelson to a state prison term of 10 years and 5 years post release supervision after pleading guilty to Burglary in the 2nd Degree (2 counts).
District Attorney, Thomas P. Zugibe stated that members of the Clarkstown Police Department began an investigation into several residential burglaries that took place beginning in mid-June throughout the Town of Clarkstown that appeared to be related. As part of their investigation, the Clarkstown Police Department, with the assistance of the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office, obtained a court order authorizing a GPS tracking device to be placed on the defendant’s car.
On August 25, 2010, while surveilling the defendant’s car via the GPS tracking device, Clarkstown police observed the defendant running towards the car with a bag. The defendant entered the car and after a brief chase the defendant’s car collided with a parked car. The defendant was immediately arrested and was found to be in possession of stolen property from a residential burglary on Flitt St, Tappan, New York, that he had committed moments before being arrested by police.
A subsequent investigation revealed that the defendant committed six other residential burglaries throughout the Town of Clarkstown. Police have been able to locate some of the property that the defendant stole from the various homes and continue to investigate.
Forest Fate, Age 51 of Spring Valley, NY was sentenced June 14, 2011, before New York State Supreme Court Justice William A. Kelly to a state prison term of 2 to 4 years after pleading guilty to Burglary in the 3rd Degree and Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the 3rd Degree.
District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe stated that on or about July 20, 2005, a doctor’s office located at 251 N. Main St., Spring Valley, New York was broken into, causing the alarm to go off and the police to respond. Upon arrival the defendant was gone. The point of entry was a doorway in which an adjacent window was broken and the lock subsequently manipulated by reaching through the broken window. Blood was recovered from the glass as well as a newspaper, which had been stuffed into the hole in the glass. DNA from blood on the glass and newspaper matches the DNA profile of the defendant. A money box was discovered missing.
District attorney further states that on and about October 11 and October 12, 2010 the defendant sold another individual cocaine for the value of $100 on two occasions while in the parking lot of Good Samaritan Hospital in the Village of Suffern.
