Police Blotter October 7

SCARSDALE

9/28  Suspicious Activity, *** Montrose Rd.  Resident reported that a man and a woman were posing as members of the Scarsdale Police Department.  The pair knocked on the resident’s door, identified themselves as police, and said that they heard someone screaming coming from within.  The resident advised that it was just his son singing, and closed the door without further conversation.  The resident was suspicious as both were people were out of uniform and the only thing that identified them as police was a NYPD baseball cap that the male was wearing at the time of the incident.   Patrol scanned the area and advised other officers to keep an eye out for these two people.  To date, police have no suspects. 

 9/29  Harassment, *** Rock Creek Ln.   Police responded to a call by a resident who said that he felt threatened by his neighbor.  The resident had had an argument with his neighbor’s wife ten days prior over a vehicle operation issue.  The argument became heated, with reports of yelling, but ended without incident.  However, on 9/29, when the resident came home from work, he was approached by his neighbor who was upset over the earlier argument.  The resident reported feeling threatened by his neighbor and became concerned for his family’s safety.  He quickly phoned the police and asked them to meditate between the two families and advise them to break off all communication with each other.  Patrol reported back that the neighbors agreed to such provisions, and no additional police service was needed.

 9/30   Suspicious Activity, 50 Barry Rd.  Police were called to investigate a white van at the dead end of Barry Road.  A resident of the street saw two unidentified subjects exit the van and walk around with a flashlight.  When patrol arrived, the van was gone, and the subjects were assumed to have left in it. This is the third report in a week of a suspicious white van.  The first time was 9/26, when a resident reported that the vehicle had been parked for several hours in front of a house on Montrose Road.  When police arrived, the van was gone, and it was difficult to search for it as there were many cars parked on the street due to a nearby party.   The  van was spotted for a second time 9/28 on Forest Ln when a caller reported that a van was driving around the area.  Again the van was gone when police officers arrived, and they failed to find it on a search of the surrounding area.  The van’s license plate remains unknown by authorities, but police are keeping their eyes open for this mysterious vehicle.

 10/4  Disorderly Conduct, 336 Midland Ave and High St North.  Two youths were seen breaking a Snapple bottle on the road.  When the police confronted them, they stated it was no big deal.  When police told them they could face charges, they promptly cleaned up the broken glass.
