Burglary At Warehouse In Nanuet, 1 Arrested: Clarkstown Police

NANUET, NY — A Philadelphian is under arrest after Clarkstown police responded to a burglary in progress at the UPS warehouse on Murray Hill Drive, rescuing a security guard who had called it in.

Clarkstown's Critical Incident Response Team was called in because it was possible the burglars were a crew known to carry firearms and have violent encounters, Clarkstown Police Det. Norman Peters said.

The first officers found a dark-colored sedan in the parking lot and detained the driver. Then police entered the building and extricated the security guard who had barricaded himself in, and searched the building unsuccessfully. The other burglars had fled.

"At no time was the public in any danger," Peters said.

The items stolen include handbags, shoes and electronics, police said.

Amadou Fall, 19, was transported to Clarkstown Police HQ and charged with third-degree burglary, a felony. He was arraigned Sunday in Clarkstown Justice Court where he was released without bail and ordered to return to court Wednesday.
