An arrest was made tonight (February 19, 2013) in a series of thefts at a historic Bronx cemetery, according to the CBS website.
Earlier today, police released a photo of 56-year-old Louis Peduto, who they said was seen inside the cemetery yesterday in possession of stolen brass handles and air vents.
While conducting a patrol inside the cemetery, officers found Peduto -- who is homeless -- and placed him under arrest.
Officials said $160,000 worth of bronze and other metals from at least 60 mausoleums and grave sites at St. Raymond's Cemetery in Throgs Neck had been stolen.
