NEW YORK (AP) - Two Long Island men are accused of stealing nine houses in New York City and renting them out or selling them.
Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson says Danny Noble and Romelo Grey filed false documents to obtain the titles.
Prosecutors say the houses in Brooklyn and Queens were either vacated or rarely used.
Thompson says that that Noble filed false documents with the New York City Department of Finance, which maintains land records and other real property filings.
Thompson says the properties are worth millions of dollars.
The defendants were arraigned Thursday on charges of conspiracy, possession of stolen property, grand larceny and falsifying business records.
An attorney for Noble, of Baldwin, said she had no comment.
An attorney for Grey, of Freeport, did not immediately return a call.
