ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Albany Police have arrested a 31-year-old and a 27-year-old in connection with an early Wednesday morning burglary at U-Haul on Broadway. Niquell Rouse and Ahlim Muhammad, both of Albany, face multiple charges.
Charges
- Third-degree burglary
- Third-degree grand larceny
- Second-degree criminal mischief
Police say they responded to 139 Broadway after receiving reports of a burglary in progress around 2:40 a.m. They reportedly saw a broken glass door.
After investigating further, police believe Rouse and Muhammad broke the glass door to get into the business. It is alleged that the suspects stole a set of keys belonging to a van in the parking lot and then took the van and fled the scene before police got there.
Rouse and Mohammad were later found in the stolen van near Quail Street and Elk Street and taken into custody, according to police. They are scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday morning in Albany Criminal Court.
