3rd Suspect Tracked Down In Gas Station Lottery Ticket Burglary Case: Police

YORKTOWN, NY — Another New York City man who tried his luck at burglary in Yorktown ended up busted, according to police.

The Yorktown Police Department says that 36-year-old Osweol Ivan Hernandez, of the Bronx, was arrested on felony charges of third-degree burglary, third-degree grand larceny, and third-degree criminal mischief.

On Feb. 13, 2024, around 3 a.m., Yorktown police officers responded to a commercial alarm activation at the Quick Stop Gulf on Crompond Road. After an investigation, officers determined that a burglary had taken place with lottery tickets stolen by several suspects.

Detectives were able to identify three suspects who they believe committed this burglary, but were not immediately able to locate them. Arrest warrants for the three suspects were then applied for and issued by the Yorktown Justice Court.

Yorktown police were recently notified of Hernandez being in custody at the Westchester County Correctional Center on an unrelated incident.

On Friday, a Yorktown officer headed to the Westchester County Correctional Center and arrested Hernandez on the warrant. He was taken to the Yorktown Police Department and processed.

Hernandez was arraigned and released on his own recognizance for the Yorktown charges. However, he was remanded to the Westchester County Correctional Center as a fugitive of justice due to an outstanding bench warrant issued by Lackawanna Conty in Pennsylvania.

Hernandez was scheduled to appear before the Yorktown Justice Court on Tuesday.

Police say Hernandez is the third defendant to be arrested in this case.
