GUILDERLAND — In the summer of 2024, three men smashed the front window of an upscale boutique in Stuyvesant Plaza, Lola Saratoga, stealing merchandise; one of those suspects has now been arraigned, according to a Dec. 3 release from the Guilderland Police.

The burglary took place at about 12:30 a.m. on July 23, 2024, with the suspects fleeing in a white Honda SUV.

The Albany County District Attorney's Office is prosecuting the case.
