IRVINGTON, NY — A 60-year-old New York City man who apparently went on a burglary spree around Mattheissen Park faces charges of burglary and criminal possession of stolen property, and more charges may be pending.

Irvington police received reports at 4 p.m. Tuesday of a suspicious man entering vehicles and asking people for money. They interviewed Kevin Strang, 60, on North Ferris Street. He was in possession of stolen property, they alleged. Following up on the items, they found signs of a forced-entry burglary at an unoccupied home in the neighborhood.

During the conversation with Strang, police looked at the $5,000 bicycle he was riding. They said they discovered it had been recently stolen from a different residence.

Located at one of the crime scenes was additional property, believed to have been stolen elsewhere. Another bicycle was also found and is believed to be stolen.

Irvington police are trying to locate witnesses or victims and request anyone that may have had property stolen on Tuesday, to please contact the Irvington Detective Division at 914-591-8080.

Strang was arraigned in Irvington Court. Having been convicted of three prior felonies, he was sent to the Westchester County jail pending his next court appearance on Aug. 10.
