Police recently arrested for
the second time this month
a suspect who tried to burglarize
numerous cars and break
into a home in Glendale.
The two arrests are related
to separate incidents that took
place within hours of each other
on the same day, according to the
criminal complaints.
The first incident unfolded
when the suspect, Teresa Forgione,
19, allegedly approached a home
on 70th Street at approximately 4
a.m. Surveillance footage from the
home showed Forgione allegedly
entering the backyard and trying
to open a window and several
doors, court records show.
Surveillance footage then
shows Forgione walking around
to the front yard of the home and
pulling on the door handle of
the car parked in the driveway,
according to the complaint.
Then, the resident of the home
woke up to a noise coming from
the bedroom window, and when
the resident went to shut the
window there was a foot coming
through it, court records show.
Two hours later, prosecutors
said, Forgione got caught
red-handed while allegedly trying
to break into other cars on 71st
Street at approximately 6:15 a.m.
Video surveillance form
another home showed Forgione
allegedly opening the front gate
of the property and walking onto
the driveway, then leaving the
driveway a short time later. The
resident of the home went outside
to fi nd the driver’s side door of the
car in the driveway left ajar, according
to the criminal complaint.
When Forgione moved on to 72nd
Street, an offi cer from the 104th Precinct
saw her in the passenger seat
of a car parked on the street. When
the offi cer approached, Forgione
allegedly said that the car belonged
to her friend, then admitted that
the car did not belong to her friend,
court records show.
The offi cer arrested Forgione
on May 8 and charged her with
unauthorized use of a vehicle
in the third degree, criminal
trespassing in the third degree
and a trespassing violation. The
Queens County Court released
Forgione on recognizance and
set her next appearance date for
June 28.
