On March 24, 2025, the Harrison Police Department, in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), arrested four Chilean nationals in Queens, NY. The suspects-Jose Hevia-Irribarra, 28, Sebastian Figueroa-Urzua, 30, Yordy Hernandez-Ramos, 21, and Alexander Silva-Yanez, 28—were taken into custody under full extradition warrants in connection with a home burglary that occurred in Massachusetts earlier this month.
These suspects are believed to be part of a much larger national burglary operation, with possible connections to dozens of residential burglaries across the U.S. dating back to 2023. The investigation began after a residential burglary in Harrison, NY, on January 30, 2025.
As the investigation progressed, the Harrison Police Detective Division uncovered evidence linking the suspects to a series of burglaries in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. This led to the issuance of arrest warrants in Massachusetts.
With assistance from the FBI’s Westchester Safe Streets Task Force, Harrison Police executed a search warrant at the suspects’ residence in Queens, where stolen property was recovered. All four individuals were found to be overstays in the U.S. and were subsequently handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
This successful operation is the result of extensive collaboration between the Harrison Police Department, the FBI’s Westchester Safe Streets Task Force, the Nassau County Police Department, the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, the Westchester County Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center, various New York State Police Agencies, as well as the Hampden Township Police Department (PA) and Shrewsbury Police Department (MA).
The Harrison Police Department expresses its appreciation for the coordinated efforts of all agencies involved and remains dedicated to protecting the safety of its community.
