Read our Privacy noticeA deadly gas explosion in a New York City high-rise last weekend was traced to an intruder who disconnected a stove to steal and sell it, prosecutors said Thursday. According to a criminal court complaint, Calderon told police he'd gone into the 13th-floor apartment of a woman with whom he'd had a relationship. Aiming to take the woman's gas stove and sell it so he could buy crack cocaine, Calderon pulled the appliance and gas line out of the wall, the complaint said. The gas traveled up to the top of the 17-story building, the complaint said.
