From the Greenburgh Police:

Bronx resident Timothy Brown was arrested for attempting to deposit a fraudulent check into a Chase Bank account that was being monitored for active fraud. Brown went to the Chase at 353 North Central Avenue on the afternoon of Tuesday April 13th and presented a check for $4,429.71 to the teller for deposit. When he swiped his ATM card, the teller found that the account had an active fraud monitor warning on it. She also found that the check was fake. She called the police but the man had already left the branch. She provided a description of a black male with corn rows, 5’11” in height wearing a gray sweatshirt. Police patrolled the area and found a man matching the description at the T-Mobile store. The Chase employee positively identified the suspect and he was taken to Police Headquarters for booking.

A bag of marijuana was found in the parking lot of 35 East Hartsdale Avenue on April 12th. The caller said that he had called the police the previous night to report that people were loitering in the parking lot.

A White Plains resident left her wallet on top of an automatic shipping machine at the Scarsdale Post Office on Central Avenue on the afternoon of April 12th. She left the post office, but shortly thereafter realized what she had done. When she returned to the Post Office, the wallet was gone.

Just after midnight on 4/12, a resident at 300 South Central Avenue called police to report that two men were removing tires from a black Honda that was parked in the lot. She had heard a loud crash, looked out her window and saw the men attempting to take the tires off the car. She banged on her window and they left,; however, they took one of the tires with them. They also damaged the fender of the car when their car jack collapsed. Police were unable to find the culprits.

On April 15, a 9/11 memorial at Webb Field in Hartsdale was spray-painted in yellow with the words, "How did Ethiopia get to be so poor? Costly foreign wars.” The Hartsdale Fire Department responded and was able to wash off the two-foot yellow lettering.

Police were called early Sunday morning, when the resident of 125 Delhi Road Scarsdale hit a water main while attempting to do a home repair. He excavated the area near a damaged foundation wall, broke the water main and water was seeping into the basement.

A Schwinn tricycle was stolen from the corner of Edgemont and Glenwood Road just after noon on Sunday 4/18. The owner had left it there briefly and was surprised to find it gone.
