Mohegan Lake Man Faces Felony Charges In Yorktown

YORKTOWN, NY — A Mohegan Lake resident faces felony charges for burglary and robbery after a reported assault.

Yorktown police have been investigating the case since November. At 2:14 a.m. Nov. 1, officers were called to a Yorktown residence. Police allege that Anthony Vukel had unlawfully entered, stolen property and caused physical injury to the victim.

Initial attempts to locate Vukel were unsuccessful, police said, so an arrest warrant was applied for and issued by the Yorktown Justice Court.

On Tuesday, Vukel voluntarily appeared at Yorktown Police Headquarters and surrendered himself, police said. The 27-year-old was placed under arrest and arraigned on charges of 1st-degree robbery and 1st-degree burglary.

The Honorable Gary Raniolo issued a temporary order of protection and it was served on behalf of the victim, police said. Vukel is due to appear in the Yorktown Justice Court on Jan. 5.
