Three Sullivan County men have been arrested and charged with burglary, after allegedly breaking into Oorah's BoyZone camp in Jefferson last week and stealing PlayStation gaming consoles, flat-screen televisions and ATVs.
The burglary took place on Dec. 3, and was partially captured on the camp's security cameras. After a week-long investigation, on Dec. 11, state police arrested 43-year-old Jose Lopez-Hernandez of Liberty, 21-year-old Alexander Barragan-Pineda of Parksville, and 20-year-old Andrew Huebsch of Liberty.
Many of the stolen items have been recovered, police say. The investigation into the burglary is ongoing.
The camp's security footage was key to solving the case, Oorah spokespersan Rivka Kirwin told the Mountain Eagle, noting that none of those arrested were employees of the camp.
The three men were arraigned and remanded to the Schoharie County Jail at $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond. They are scheduled to reappear in Jefferson town court on Dec. 16.
