Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
Probable cause is established, absent materially impeaching circumstances, where the victim of an offense communicates to the arresting officer information affording a credible ground for believing that the offense was committed, and identifies the accused as the perpetrator (see, People v Crespo, 70 A.D.2d 661). Contrary to the defendant's contention, a review of the record supports a finding that materially impeaching circumstances were lacking. Thus, the police had probable cause to arrest the defendant and neither his statements, made after being advised of the Miranda warnings, nor the physical evidence seized during an inventory search were the tainted product of an unlawful arrest. Thompson, J.P., Brown, Niehoff and Rubin, JJ., concur.
