PEARL RIVER – A Nyack man accused of burglarizing a Gilbert Avenue home was arrested Saturday and charged with several felonies.

Marcus Ratnecht of 216 High Ave. broke into the home on Dec. 1, Orangetown police said.

The 42-year-old, who police said was in possession of several of the stolen items when he was arrested, was taken into custody by Orangetown detectives after an investigation that also involved the Rockland County Sheriff's Office, police said.

Ratnecht was arraigned in Town Court on charges of second-degree burglary, third-degree grand larceny and third-degree criminal possession of stolen property. He was released without bail and is to return to court Jan. 12.

He could not be reached for comment.
