GUILDERLAND — James B. Smalls was arrested after, police say, he tried to break into several apartments in Serafini Village last Saturday afternoon.

A neighbor called Guilderland Police when he saw Smalls, 48, of 404 Brandywine Ave., Schenectady, trying to get into nearby apartments, according to police. 

“The witness advised that the subject did gain entry to at least one apartment,” says a release from the department.  Smalls was arrested in the Hewitt’s parking lot off Route 20 and charged with second-degree burglary and fourth-degree grand larceny, a charge that stemmed from a stolen credit card, said Sergeant Eric Batchelder.

Smalls was remanded to Albany County’s jail without bail and police are continuing to investigate, the release says, and further charges may be filed.
