"Mr. Isolda was not home at the time. Casey Buckley was, she was taken into custody. A subsequent search of the apartment revealed that she was in possession of some of the property that was stolen from our victim,” Male said.

Male said they found the victim's ID, credit cards and personal belongings.

"She did have some old family photos in her wallet which we were able to recover and I think that's what meant the most to her,” Male said.

Buckley and Isolda both were charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of grand larceny.

Based on the charges alone both suspects would have been released under new bail laws. However, Buckley had two prior felony convictions so she was sent to Schenectady County Jail without bail.

Isolda also would have been released had there not been an outstanding warrant for his arrest in the Town of Colonie. Male said Isolda was turned over to Colonie police after his arraignment in Rotterdam Town Court on Thursday night.

Male said he believes the warrant in Colonie was tied to a similar larceny charge.

Rotterdam detectives believe the couple went to the parking lot with the intention of robbing someone and ultimately targeted the 84-year-old victim.

"They happened to stumble on an elderly woman walking through the parking lot, seemingly an easy target for them,” Male said. “Our belief is that these crimes were fueled by a drug addiction."

Male said Isolda was likely released by Colonie police after being arraigned there. NewsChannel 13 called for an update but that has not been confirmed.

Rotterdam police are still investigating, Male said more charges are possible in the future.
