Two juvenile girls were arrested in a burglary Oct. 16 for allegedly stealing religious items from the Chabad of Great Neck in Kings Point.
“Upon arrival, officers were informed that two female subjects entered through an unlocked side door and removed religious items such as Seder candles, a bag containing Tefillin prayer straps, keys and assorted coins,” detectives said in a press release. “The subjects then fled scene in an unknown direction.”
An investigative led detectives to Madonna Heights in Dix Hills, where the two juveniles were taken into police custody without incident.
The individuals are a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl, both of whom now face charges of burglary and criminal possession of stolen property, the police said.
They were arraigned on Oct. 20.
