Deputies Interrupt Burglary at Gas Station in Rhinebeck

Dutchess County Sheriff's Deputies foil an early morning burglary in progress at a gas station in Rhinebeck, NY.

Members of law enforcement have long said that one of the things they love about being on the "job" is how random most of the calls are that they respond to, and that they never know what they might encounter while on patrol.

That might be what the Dutchess County Sheriff Deputies who responded to an early morning security alarm activation might be saying today.

The DCSO didn't share many details about the burglary or identify the suspect, but did say in a press release,

"Thanks to their quick response, deputies were able to interrupt the crime and take the suspect into custody without further incident."

 

Once the suspect was arrested and in custody, the DCSO Detective Unit was called to the scene to conduct an in-depth investigation.

“This case is another example of the dedication and professionalism of the men and women of the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office who work tirelessly, day and night, to keep Dutchess safe,” said Dutchess County Sheriff Kirk Imperati.
