On January 31, 2026, the Bensalem Township Police Department responded to four burglary-related incidents occurring between 6:00 PM and 8:10 PM. 

The incidents occurred in the Neshaminy Valley section of the township. In three of the cases, suspects attempted entry through rear doors or windows but were deterred by the homeowners or alarm systems.  Forced entry was made into a fourth home which was then burglarized.

Detectives initiated an investigation and determined that all four incidents were connected.  Through the use of surveillance footage, witness statements, and Automated License Plate Readers, police were able to identify the vehicles used in the burglaries along with developing suspects for the crimes.  The investigation also revealed that these incidents matched other burglaries being reported in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. 

Through multi-jurisdictional cooperation involving the Bensalem Township Police Department, Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office Detective Division, Rice Township (Luzerne County), West Windsor Police Department (New Jersey), and the NYPD Burglary Unit, three subjects were positively identified and charges were filed. 

Robinson Jean Paul Moncada Patarroyo, Daniel Alejandro Garcia Arenas, and Yeison Estiven Gonzalez Rodriguez were all located and taken into custody.

These individuals are believed to members of an organized burglary crew working out of the Queens section of New York City.  These subjects involved in this criminal organization are all Columbian Nationals, and members of a larger South American Theft Group

All three individuals have been charged with burglary and related offenses in multiple jurisdictions, including Bensalem Township and Warrington Township in Bucks County; Franconia Township, Montgomery Township, and Lower Salford Township in Montgomery County; and Rice Township in Luzerne County.

Daniel Alejandro Garcia Arenas was arraigned in Montgomery County by Magisterial District Judge Rebar on 04/01/2026 and was remanded to Montgomery County Correctional Facility.  Robinson Jean Paul Moncada Patarroyo and Yeison Estiven Gonzalez Rodriguez are both in custody in out-of-state prisons and are awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania.

The Bensalem Township Police Department extends its sincere appreciation to all partnering law enforcement agencies for their collaboration and support throughout this investigation. The coordinated efforts, information sharing, and professionalism demonstrated by each department were instrumental in identifying and apprehending those responsible. This case highlights the critical importance of interagency cooperation in addressing organized criminal activity and ensuring those involved are brought to justice.
