Suspected Thieves with Arrest Warrants Caught in Westchester County

When it comes to law enforcement, officers are trained to essentially be ready at any time because they can be called at any time. An example of that played out recently with members of the New Rochelle Police and their recent apprehension of some suspected thieves that had been making some noise in the NorthEast.

Real Time Crime Report in New Rochelle

Back on August 2, 2024 members of the New Rochelle Police received an alert courtesy of the Westchester County Real Time Crime Center. The alert was in regard to a vehicle that had been linked to theft of a purse in the Town of Greenburgh in western Westchester County.

The suspicious vehicle was located in New Rochelle in the Home Depot parking lot. When New Rochelle Police arrived on the scene, they found the vehicle parked and unoccupied with no signs of the suspects. Officers then set up surveillance and began monitoring the vehicle while also contacting Greenburgh PD Detectives.

According to the press release from the New Rochelle Police Department, while NRPD officers awaited the arrival of the Greenburgh PD Detectives, the three suspects returned to their vehicle and began to driveaway. It was at this time that the New Rochelle officers went into action.
