The Spring Valley Police Department has arrested a Spring Valley man in connection with a series of burglaries at the cheder building of Congregation Yeshuos Moshe Viznitz, located at 50 South Main Street.

According to police, on February 3, 2026, officers responded to a report of a past burglary at the cheder, where an investigation determined the building had been unlawfully entered and money was stolen from a donation box. During the investigation, police received additional reports from the school indicating that the suspect had returned to the cheder building and unlawfully entered it on four separate occasions following the initial burglary.

As a result of the investigation, police identified and arrested 38-year-old Spring Valley resident Gerard J. Everheart on February 9, 2026.

Everheart was charged with five counts of Burglary in the Third Degree, a class D felony; four counts of Petit Larceny, a class A misdemeanor; and one count of Attempted Petit Larceny, a class A misdemeanor.

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

Authorities emphasize that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

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