Fire Dept: Grand Larceny Was Not an In-House Job

UPDATE: The original post contained information from the police department saying that the suspect of this grand larceny case was in the fire department. William Logan, First Assistant Chief of the Tarrytown Fire Department, has since clarified, saying that the suspect was someone the department had hired but not a member. The article contains corrections to the original and our apologies for the error.

Tarrytown Police are investigating a grand larceny case allegedly originating right next door to police headquarters. 

A member of the Franklin Street Riverside Hose Company reported to police that someone the company had hired to do work for them had allegedly been making unauthorized charges on the Engine Company's Key Bank Mastercard to the tune of $6,075.14.

First Assistant Chief William Logan said "it was not one of our members, it had nothing to do with Riverside Hose," as Tarrytown police had originally reported. 

Instead, Logan said, they had hired someone to rebuild their antique firetruck. In the course of his work, the suspect had access to their credit card to order parts. "After a couple months, we realized he had been making personal purchases," Logan said. 

The charges were made between June 11, 2012 to April 13, 2013. 

The case is still under investigation.
