YORKTOWN, N.Y. - Two Yonkers residents were arrested by Yorktown police this week in separate incidents.
On Tuesday, Nadeem Abualteen, 24, was arrested by Detective Brian Shanahan and charged with criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, a Class E felony, after turning himself in at police headquarters.
According to police, on January 12 they received a call from a patron at Staples Plaza that a suspicious male was attempting to enter parked vehicles.
