Dumbo Thief Nabbed
November 18th, 2006
“Kenneth Hayes, 45, may spend the next 13 years in jail on multiple burglary and larceny charges thanks to the blood-stained tissue — saturated with his DNA — that he dropped when he broke into a film and video production company on Washington Street between Front and Water streets in 2004. He was arraigned on Nov. 2 on multiple counts of burglarly, larceny and criminal tresspass, according to the Brooklyn DA’s office.”
“Bio-Track began as a pilot program in Queens, in 2003. For years, DNA evidence has been used to solve murders, rapes and serious assaults — but not for burglaries.”
“The next natural step was to apply this amazing crime-solving tool to other crimes,†Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown wrote in his October 2006.
“Brooklyn precincts can now collect the DNA evidence and compare it against a state database.”
“Ferreria found the DNA link while investigating the theft of more than $15,700 in high-end computers and cameras from a film and video-production company with a suite of offices on the second floor of the DUMBO building.”
