Teen Girls Accused of Stealing Money from Cold Spring Man
Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports the arrests of two teenaged girls from the Town of Philipstown on larceny charges. Anna M. Gray, aged 19, and Dana A. Harrington, also 19, both of Philipstown, are accused of stealing money from a Cold Spring man who asked one of them to walk his dog.
According to the Sheriff, the victim, who lives in the Forge Gate Condominiums in the Village of Cold Spring, called the Sheriff’s Department back on November 14, 2006 and reported an apparent burglary at his residence. The man said that he had returned home from work that day and discovered about $1,000 Dollars in currency and rolled coins missing from his bedroom. Sheriff’s Investigator Jeffrey A. Devolve was assigned to the case and he determined that Ms. Gray and Ms. Harrington, who were acquaintances of the victim, had allegedly stolen the money.
At the victim’s request, Ms. Gray had walked his dog on many occasions while he was at work. On the day of the theft, Ms. Gray and Ms. Harrington went to the man’s condominium and, after walking the dog, allegedly took the money from the victim’s bedroom. Investigator Devolve arrested the teens on December 13th and charged them with Petit Larceny.
Earlier that same day, Ms. Gray was also arrested in another unrelated matter. Deputy Sheriffs James Babcock and Alexander Ruhe charged her with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the Third Degree, a misdemeanor, after they stopped her car on Route 301 in the Village of Nelsonville for a moving violation and discovered that her license was suspended.
Ms. Gray was arraigned on the larceny charge before Cold Spring Village Justice Thomas Costello, who remanded her to the Putnam County Correctional Facility in lieu of $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bail bond. Ms. Harrington was booked and released without bail. Both defendants are scheduled to appear in the Cold Spring Village Court on January 10, 2007 in the larceny case.
