Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. Probable cause to arrest defendant and his companion was provided by the totality of the observations of an officer highly experienced in automobile-related larcenies. These observations, including distinctive "casing"-type behavior (involving crossing back and forth across the street for that purpose), "lookout"-type behavior, entry into a car and opening of its trunk in a suspicious manner, and immediate removal of property, when viewed as a whole, were inconsistent with lawful behavior ( see, People v. Carrasquillo, 54 N.Y.2d 248, 254).
