On February 3, 2026, the Spring Valley Police Department responded to a report of a past burglary at Congregation Yeshuos Moshe Viznitz, located at 50 South Main Street.

An investigation determined that the school had been unlawfully entered and that money was stolen from a donation box. During the course of the investigation, the Spring Valley Police Department received additional reports from the school indicating that the suspect had returned to the location and unlawfully entered on four separate occasions following the initial burglary.

As a result of the investigation, the Spring Valley Police Department identified and arrested 38-year-old Spring Valley resident Gerard J. Everheart on February 9, 2026. Mr. Everheart was charged with five counts of Burglary in the Third Degree, a class D felony, and four counts of Petit Larceny, a class A misdemeanor and one count of attempted Petit Larceny, a class A misdemeanor.

Mr. Everheart was arraigned in Spring Valley Justice Court before the Honorable Judge Brimais-Tenemille. Bail was set at $25,000 cash, $50,000 secured bond, or $100,000 partially secured bond. Mr. Everheart was subsequently remanded to the Rockland County Jail.

A criminal complaint is merely an accusation; the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The Spring Valley Police Department is requesting that anyone with information related to this incident to contact the department at 845-356- 7400 or email [email protected].
