THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. PRESS GREEN, Appellant.

Judgments affirmed.

The defendant was arrested at approximately 10:15 P.M. on July 18, 1979, at the Green family home in Mount Vernon, New York, during the execution of a search warrant. We need not consider the defendant's arguments with respect to the validity of the search warrant since no physical evidence was seized during the search.

The defendant's further claim that there was no probable cause to arrest him is without merit. Probable cause existed based upon the statements of an accomplice which implicated defendant in the crimes with which he was later charged (see, People v. Berzups, 49 N.Y.2d 417, 427; People v. Williams, 115 A.D.2d 627; People v White, 109 A.D.2d 859, 860; People v. Thomas, 103 A.D.2d 854, 855). Hence, we reject the defendant's claim that his statements should have been suppressed as the fruit of an unlawful arrest.

We have considered the defendant's other contentions, insofar as they were preserved for our review, and find them to be without merit. Gibbons, J.P., Brown, Lawrence and Kooper, JJ., concur.
