Facebook party leads to burglary arrests

YONKERS

It happened late Sunday night at /*Tara Circle, Inc.*/ on North Broadway in /*Yonkers*/. The location is used for catering events and movie shoots.

Two officers observed a group of young people entering the building around 11:15 p.m. and became suspicious.

As they approached the building, they noticed a large group inside. At the same time, two men approached the officers and explained that they rented the property for a birthday party.

The officers had trouble buying that story when they apparently said they rented the building from a woman named Tara Circle.

In fact, the two did not rent the building, nor have permission to be there.

As the officers entered the building, approximately 50 -75 people ran out of the back door.

Investigators said the two suspects advertised on Facebook that they were having a party at the location and they charged $5.00 per person for admission.

Officers found a keg of beer, liquor bottles, and multiple cups inside of the building. A broken window and door were also discovered.

Both suspects were arrested on burglary charges.
