Two Robberies of Larchmont Pedestrians
A 25-year-old man was assaulted on Boston Post Road near Dillon Road in Larchmont early Tuesday morning by three unknown men
who took his Blackberry and $18 in cash. This location is across the street from the Mrs. Green Shopping Center.
About 26 hours earlier, a 17-year-old boy was held by two unknown men who took his iPod and cell phone on the corner of Nancy Lane and Palmer Avenue, near Central School.
Town of Mamaroneck Lt. Robert Koziak said police believe the incidents are related and they remain under investigation.
According to police, the 25-year-old victim was walking to his Mayhew Road home at about 2:45 a.m. when three perpetrators, described as black males between 5-feet-11 and 6-feet tall, approached him near Dillon Road and struck him with their fists and took his phone and cash. The victim was taken to Sound Shore Medical Center for evaluation. His injuries were not believed to be serious.
On Sunday night, the 17-year-old victim was approached from behind and held while two men removed the items from his pockets. The victim was uninjured. He described one of his attackers as a 25-year-old, 5-foot-10 black male, with facial hair wearing a red sweatshirt and black shorts. The other attacker was described as a 25-year-old, 6-foot tall black male wearing a white T-shirt and dark cargo pants
So I understand that perps have been apprehended, but surely, the reason why 1.1 sq mile Larchmont is crawling with superb cops with superb benefits is to avoid those muggings taking place in the first place ? What am I missing here ? Are the superb cops too busy doing other things than patrolling the streets at the time when muggings are likely to take place ?
TO: LET ME UNDERSTAND – the first two adresses are in the TOWN of MAMK (Larch Post Office Address only). the TOWN is not 1.1 SQ miles (much bigger) but even if it was you dont really think muggungs at all hrs of the day on every single street can be prevented do you? Only in a “police state” dude. Is that what you want?
I get parking tickets w/ my car parked in front of my home at 3am(dead end). I would be much happier knowing my tax $ were going towards fighting crime & perhaps stopping some of these house burglaries that are everywhere rather than having the police stand around writing parking tickets in the middle of the nt. It’s sad.
