The Fifth Squad reports the arrest of five Brooklyn men for a Grand Larceny that occurred on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 10:55 pm in Valley Stream.

According to detectives, police responded to Target, located at 500 West Sunrise Highway, for a larceny in progress.  Upon arrival, officers observed three male subjects at the scene and the subjects were placed under arrest.

Further investigation revealed that the five male subjects were also responsible for a previous larceny at a Target, located at 999 Corporate Drive in Westbury.
