Two men were busted for going on an ATM theft spree in March, accused of breaking into multiple businesses in Brookhaven and Islip to steal the cash dispensers.
Prosecutors charged 46-year-old Jamie Volini of East Patchogue and 41-year-old John Mahoney of Mastic with burglary, grand larceny, and other related charges.
The brazen bandits are accused of breaking into five businesses and attempting to break into another, then stealing or trying to steal the ATMs inside.
“The arrests are the result of diligent investigative work by the Suffolk County Police Department, and I thank them for their work on this case. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to ensure that those that steal the property of others are held responsible for their actions,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney.
Last month, police placed Volini and Mahoney in custody. At the time of the arrest, Volini was allegedly in possession of over an eighth of an ounce of cocaine.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Keri Wasson of the Major Crime
Bureau, and the investigation conducted by Detective Valentin Rosado of the Suffolk County
Police Department’s Major Case Unit.
