Trio Charged In North Hills Burglary: PD

NORTH HILLS, NY — Three people, including a Brooklyn woman and two men from Chile, have been charged with breaking into a North Hills home back in March, Nassau County police said Thursday.

Detectives said Kathleen Velez, 31, of Brooklyn; and Kevin Rojo Rojo, 21, and Nicolas Huenul-Duran, 23, two men whose last known addresses are Santiago, Chile, were charged with second-degree burglary, a felony, in connection with a break-in at a home on National Court just after 8 p.m. on March 19.

The trio gained access to the home by breaking a window, then used it to climb inside and removed “items,” according to a police spokesman. He would not disclose if anyone was in the home at the time. The burglary is part of an “active investigation,” police said.

No further information was released.

The trio will be arraigned on Friday in Mineola, according to police.
