BPD: Couple burglarized home of someone they knew

BETHLEHEM — A Troy couple was arrested on Wednesday after a Jan. 30 burglary at a Glenmont home.

Lisa and Carlos Campbell were each charged with second-degree burglary, and third-degree criminal mischief, both felonies, and with petit larceny, a misdemeanor.

Lisa M. Campbell, 42, was also charged with another felony, first-degree stalking, while her husband, Carlos R. D. Campbell, 36, was not.

They stole “personal property” from the Glenmont home, according to Deputy Chief James L. Rexford, public information officer for the Bethlehem Police.

“I do not believe any stolen property was recovered,” he told The Enterprise.

Bethlehem and Albany police worked the case together, Rexford said, “utilizing the Albany County Crime Analysis Center resources to build the case against the suspects.”

He also said, “The victim in the case knew the suspects.”

Both of the Campbells were arraigned in Bethlehem Town Court by Justice Andrew Kirby and were then turned over to the Albany Police Department for the additional charges that occurred in the city of Albany.

  • Using a grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the town of Bethlehem purchased 68 acres from town residents Marilyn Stangle and Betty Nolan, who wanted to protect the land from solar developers. The town had previously approved around $50,000 of its own funds to cover extra expenses, but ended up using just half that. 

  • The town executed a lease agreement at its March meeting that would charge Michael Stanton, of Stanton Farms, LLC,  $45 per acre for 216 tillable acres at the historic Heath Farm property. Stanton Farm, which had already farmed the land under an agreement with the previous property owner, was the only applicant for the lease.
