Yonkers-Unusual Pursuit/Perp In The Water-8/19/08

1 post in this topic

Date: 8/19/08

Time: 1800ish

Location: Warburton Ave at Odell Ave

Frequency: YPD 1 and YPD 2, County Hotline (MTA, WCPD, Dobbs, Hastings)

Units Operating: YPD 4pct, ESU, DD, Crime Scene, Marine Unit, OJ as listed above

Description Of Incident: Larceny in progress, foot pursuit, and then...

Writer: O-Wind (O/S...well sort of, O/A)

Numerous larcenies from auto in area started this.

911 call about 1 in progress at 35 O'Dell Ave. Another victim flags down first arriving R/C and points out suspect running hiding something (Verizon laptop!). Foot Pursuit ensued, suspect fled due west down towards the Greystone RR Station, crosses the tracks and plays chicken for a while. Hotline requesting assistance and notifications to Hudson Line trains about condition. Suspect then makes a break for NJ by diving into the Hudson River. Now a first...well at least for me...swim pursuit ensues. Marine 1 after direction from many land loving officers finally captured "the only person in the pool". Yes, that is a quote...Suspect arrested and charged. Evidence recovered!
