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

The Yorktown Police Department says that on February 13 of this year, around 3 a.m., officers responded to a commercial alarm activation at the Quick Stop Gulf on Crompond Rd.

Once on the scene, officers determined that a burglary had taken place with lottery tickets stolen by several suspects.
