Staten Island Burglars Steal Range Rover During Home Break-In Crime Spree

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A wave of residential break-ins has put Staten Island communities on high alert after a group of burglars targeted multiple homes, culminating in the theft of a luxury Range Rover. The New York City Police Department is actively investigating the crime spree, which occurred in early February 2026.

According to the NYPD, the suspects entered several homes in the area, looking for high-value items and vehicle keys. During one of the break-ins, the perpetrators successfully located the keys to a Range Rover parked at the residence and used them to steal the vehicle. The group then fled the scene, potentially using the stolen vehicle to escape.

Local authorities believe the break-ins are connected, pointing to a similar modus operandi where suspects attempt to enter homes through unlocked doors or windows, specifically searching for luxury car keys. Investigators are reviewing security footage from various neighborhoods to trace the movements of the suspects and the stolen vehicle.

Community leaders are advising residents to ensure all doors, windows, and vehicles are securely locked, especially during overnight hours, and to report any suspicious activity immediately. The NYPD's investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made at this time.
