Orange County man charged with stealing items, selling them

GOSHEN -- Orange County Sheriff’s Investigators arrested a Warwick man Wednesday and charged him in connection with thefts of items from a barn and the subsequent sale of those items.

Kenneth Horton, 48, was charged with burglary in the third degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree, both felonies.

It is alleged that he burglarized a storage barn in the Town of Hamptonburgh in June 2007 and stole various items including antique liquor containers, candle holders, and numerous oriental vases.

Authorities are looking into the possibility that Horton, who is reported to be a county DPW employee, may have burglarized other storage facilities and sold some of those items.

Horton was remanded to Orange County Jail on $ 7,500 by Judge Thomas Cione of the Town of Goshen.

Anyone who has purchased any items from Horton is urged to contact Investigator Romamowski in the Sheriff’s Office at 845-291-7938.

All calls will be kept confidential.
