Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The evidence presented to the hearing court clearly demonstrated that the police had probable cause to arrest the defendant (see, CPL 140.10 [b]). The arresting officer was provided with factual information concerning the defendant's description and the direction of his flight from the scene of the crime. The defendant was found hiding under a woodpile behind a private residence on a street near the crime scene. Moreover, he matched the general description of one of the perpetrators (see, People v Cumberbatch, 171 A.D.2d 671). The description of the defendant, together with his location near the crime scene, and his hiding under a woodpile constituted "facts and circumstances which, viewed together" (People v Rivera, 166 A.D.2d 678, 679, quoting People v Dawkins, 163 A.D.2d 322) could have led the arresting officer to reasonably conclude that the defendant perpetrated the crimes described over police radio broadcasts (see, People v Rivera, supra; People v Dawkins, supra).
We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, O'Brien and Ritter, JJ., concur.
