Cops: Burglar caught red-handed after break-in

A suspected burglar was arrested Wednesday after she was caught "carrying several large bags" from the scene of an East Rockaway residential break-in, police said.

Kelly F. Stillwaggon, 30, of 5 Plainfield Ave., East Rockaway, was charged with second-degree burglary, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, three counts of petit larceny, and three counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.

Fourth Precinct police officers responding to a burglary at a Centre Avenue residence found Stillwaggon walking nearby at about 7:20 a.m. with bags that contained items stolen from the home and "items stolen from vehicles on Centre Avenue and Plainfield Avenue," police said in a Thursday news release.

Stillwaggon was to be arraigned in First District Court, Hempstead.
