RED HOOK – Three residents of Yonkers were arrested in Red Hook on Wednesday after police received a report of individuals stealing cooking oil from the Jaeger House restaurant on Route 9G at approximately 10:30 a.m. on October 19, 2022.

Prince Gonzalez, 27, Analie Nacarro, 34, and Leuri Deleon, 21, were arrested and charged with misdemeanors of larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

According to Red Hook Police, when the officer responded to the restaurant, the witness told the officer that suspects in a white Home Depot van stole the oil from behind the establishment and fled the scene.

A short time later, an officer spotted a vehicle matching the description traveling south on 9G.  The officer performed a traffic stop and the vehicle was searched.  The search resulted in the discovery of more than 100 gallons of stolen cooking oil and equipment used to steal the oil.

Red Hook police say that the vehicle had been rented from a Home Depot in Westchester County and may have been involved in multiple larcenies in the area in the last few weeks.  The investigation is ongoing and the two men and one woman may face additional charges.

The three subjects were charged and released with appearance tickets for a future court date.
