STATEN ISLAND — The so-called Staten Island “Ninja Burglar” has been arrested after evading investigators for 10 years, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
The burglar, who was given the nickname after a resident said he encountered a nunchuck-wielding intruder in his Dongan Hills home, was responsible for more than a dozen break-ins in 2007 and 2008, the New York Daily News reported.
Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon was expected to release more details about the arrest during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
