A triggered burglar alarm in an Old Lyme Road house alerted police to a burglary at 6:43 a.m., January 14. Police arrived at the house and noticed a rear kitchen door and garage door ajar. The kitchen door appeared to have been kicked in and it appeared to patrol that the point of entry and exit had been the kitchen. Police noticed a metal baseball bat lying on the floor of the front hallway foyer. All rooms appeared to be untouched. Nothing was ransacked. The homeowner was notified. She examined the house and believed nothing had been stolen. While canvassing the area for a possible suspect, patrol observed a white man in the rear of Quaker Ridge School. The man was going through garbage dumpsters. He was described as wearing a black baseball cap, black jacket, dark gray sweat pants and black sneakers. The man said he had been in the area for the last 10-15 minutes, and he lives in New Rochelle. The man seemed nervous and first described his vehicle as a Toyota. The man then retracted his description of the vehicle and stated, "No. I mean a Honda." Patrol asked to see his car key, which was observed to be a Honda car key. The Honda was parked in the Quaker Ridge parking lot, near the Normandy entrance. Patrol asked to see the man's ID, at which time he stated he did not have one. Patrol then explained that he was in an area, where a crime just took place. The man then stated he had his ID but just didn't realize he had it on him. Patrol checked the garbage dumpsters for possible items that would be in question. Patrol thanked the man for his cooperation and continued to canvass the area.

Mailbox
A Dell Road woman reported an unknown man in a gray Toyota Camry came to her door, without ringing or knocking, and then went to a neighbor's house and did the same thing January 12.

911
A Penn Boulevard woman called 911 to report a man in a red SUV in her driveway January 9.

More details have emerged in the Jan. 18 arrests of two suspects caught using multiple fraudulent debit cards to withdraw more than $29,000 from Webster Bank ATM machines. Police received a report of suspicious ATM activity at Webster Bank's Popham Road branch at approximately 2:19 p.m. According to the bank manager, two Asian men in their mid-20s to 30s entered the bank on Saturday, Jan. 14, and "acted suspicious" while withdrawing money from the ATM machines. On Tuesday, Jan. 17, employees noticed their ATM machines were low on funds, and the ATM machines at Webster Bank's East Parkway branch were also low on funds. This put the banks on alert for possible fraudulent ATM activity. On Jan. 18, the Popham Road branch serviced its ATM machines and discovered $3,000 had been withdrawn overnight. This was unusual because, according to the manager, only an average of between $20 and $1,300 is withdrawn from the bank on a daily basis. At 1:30 p.m., the same men who suspiciously withdrew cash from the ATM on Jan. 14 entered the Popham Road bank again. They were seen standing at the ATM machines "for a long time," withdrawing cash multiple times. This is what prompted a call to police. An officer on downtown foot patrol arrived in less than two minutes and located the suspects. The suspects had left the bank, but one returned while police were there, and the other was standing outside across the street from the bank. At first, the suspect who was detained in the bank told police "no English" and did not respond to questions. A fraudulent ATM card was observed hanging out of the suspect's pocket, and police confiscated it. As officers interviewed the two suspects during the on-scene investigation, they discovered numerous additional fraudulent ATM cards in the suspects' pockets. According to police, "Both suspects were in possession of 27 fraudulent bank ATM cards, none of which had cardholders' names, and most of which did not have any account number or bank information on them. The ATM cards all had 4-digit PIN numbers written on the back of them. Fraudulent transactions at the bank where the suspects were arrested exceeded $29,000."

Suspect Yan Lin Liu, 33, of Flushing, NY was arrested on 27 counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, a class-D felony. Suspect Huirong Liu, 24, of Flushing, NY was also arrested on 27 counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. Both suspects were arraigned in Scarsdale Village Justice Court and remanded to the Westchester County Jail on $60,000 bail each. Both defendants are Chinese citizens in the United States on a visa. Police are continuing their investigation of the incident, identifying both the financial institutions and account holder information encoded on the cards. The US Secret Service, operating out of its White Plains office, assisted the Scarsdale Police Department and police are also working with the Westchester County District Attorney's Office Financial Crimes Division on the ongoing investigation.

Death
Irene Frankel, 94, of Brewster Road, died at home of natural causes Jan. 16.

Woman struck by own car
On Jan. 22, a 41-year-old Brittany Close woman was struck by her own car after she failed to put the car into park after pulling into her driveway. When police arrived at the accident scene, they saw the woman sitting in her 2017 Infiniti, bleeding from her left leg. She said she had just pulled into her driveway and thought she had put her car into park. As she was grabbing things from the back seat while outside the car, the vehicle began rolling backwards. The woman's six-year-old daughter was still inside the car, so the woman ran after the car and tried to get back inside to stop it. As the front tire and driver's side front door struck the curb, the car turned and rolled back onto the resident's front lawn. She told police she was not sure if the front driver's side wheel ran over her leg or if the tire pinned her leg up against curbing – thus causing injury. As the car drove over the lawn, the woman continued to run after it. She was eventually able to get back into the car and put it in park. Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps took the woman to White Plains Hospital Center for treatment. SVAC evaluated the daughter, and no injuries were reported. The resident's husband was on scene to attend to their daughter.

Car break-ins
On Jan. 21, a Continental Road man reported two unlocked cars in his driveway – a Jeep and an Infiniti – had been entered and rummaged through overnight. Sunglasses were stolen from the Jeep, and a set of golf clubs in the trunk had been moved. It did not appear as if anything had been taken from the Infiniti.

Identity theft
On Jan. 21, a Cayuga Road woman reported receiving two phone calls about fraudulent credit applications with Bank of America and Fifth Third Bank. The calls were received on Jan. 16 and 17. On Jan. 19, the woman learned someone had submitted a fraudulent request to have her mail forwarded to an address in Orlando, Florida. Thus, any packages sent to the woman's Scarsdale address would have gone to Orlando, if the woman had not realized the issue. The woman notified the post office, and the US Postmaster opened an incident for the unauthorized change of address.

Assault
On Jan. 21, as patrol was entering Freightway Garage for a routine check at 10 p.m., a 22-year-old Crest Lane man and a 20-year-old Crest Lane woman stopped their car while they were exiting the garage to report that they had just been assaulted by acquaintances. The man and woman said the attackers were possibly still on the upper level of the garage. Patrol immediately informed dispatch and requested Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps because the woman was bleeding from the nose and had pain in her head and face. Police canvassed the area for the suspects, but no one was found. The man and woman said they had arrived at the garage to meet up with some friends and hang out. While they were outside their car talking to friends, a female acquaintance approached the woman and said that the two needed to talk. As they walked around the car to talk, the acquaintance said, "I hear you are talking s**t about me from plenty of people. The woman told the acquaintance she was not talking about her. The acquaintance then punched the woman in the nose with a closed fist. She grabbed her hair and starting punching the woman in the face and back of the head. The punches caused bruising and swelling of the cheeks and nose. The man said he attempted to separate the two women, but the acquaintance's boyfriend stepped in and started punching him in the face and chest. The man told police he was not injured in any way. The woman was taken to White Plains Hospital Center for evaluation. The man said he would provide information about the suspects for follow-up. Police questioned the drivers and occupants of three cars that left Freightway Garage during the time police were on scene. No one in any of those cars said they saw the incident.

Dispute
A worker called police because he was having a dispute with a Madison Road man Jan. 19. The worker said the man had written him a check for previously done work but was threatening to cancel the check if the worker did not come back the next day to do more work. The worker said he would only be able to do the additional work the following week. The man confirmed the worker's statements and was adamant in his communication about the worker returning the following day to do additional work. At this point, the worker said he would not come back at all because he was unhappy with the way he was being treated. Police advised the man he should not cancel the check because it was for already completed work, done to the man's satisfaction. Police advised the worker to pursue the matter in small claims court if the man cancelled the check.

Appointment
A caretaker of a Richbell Road house called police, stating she did not know why people and cars were in the driveway at 9:30 p.m., Jan. 19. She said the house was for sale and there had been an appointment to show the house at 7 p.m. The realtor, who was identified as one of the people outside the house, said he did show his clients the house at 7 p.m. His clients left their car in the driveway while they looked at other properties, and they had returned to pick up their car. Everything was deemed to be in good order.

Panic
Police set up a perimeter around a Ridgecrest East house after a resident called 911, reporting a possible intruder at 11:40 p.m., Jan. 19. Police made contact with the resident via a second floor window. The resident said she no longer thought anyone was in the house, except for her and her daughter. She also said her daughter was now in a panic. Police checked the house and its surroundings. They found no signs of attempted forced entry, no footprints and nothing out of the ordinary.

Ride home
On Jan. 20, an elderly man walked into headquarters. He was disoriented and said he did not know how to get back home. Patrol gave him a courtesy ride home and spoke with his wife, who was there. She said he was suffering from dementia. She did not request any further assistance.

Missing mother-in-law
A passerby saw an elderly woman walking on Huntington Avenue without a shoe around 9:45 a.m., Jan. 21. Due to a French and English language gap, the passerby was not able to assist the woman; so the passerby called police. Police drove the elderly woman to headquarters to further assist her. While the woman was at headquarters, a Sage Terrace woman called to report her mother-in-law was missing. The mother-in-law was described as a French-speaking Alzheimer's patient, whose physical description matched that of the woman at headquarters. The Sage Terrace woman and her mother-in-law were reunited, and no further assistance was needed.

Tampering
On Jan. 20, a Brewster Road man asked police to document three peculiar incidents that occurred over the past three weeks. First, the man noticed the mesh screen over his dryer vent became detached. Next, he noticed the padlock on his storage area became unlocked. It showed no signs of force, and the lock appeared intact. Third, he noticed a kitchen window slightly ajar, even thought he had been home all day and the window had allegedly been locked. Patrol checked the window for signs of criminality or pry marks; however, nothing unusual was detected. The man said he would install alarm sensors on the window.

Many Greenacres residents heard police helicoptors circling the neighborhood and saw police searching the streets on Thursday night 1-12. Residents were told an active investigation was underway and that they should lock their doors and remain inside. According to neighbors, a resident of Donellan Road was approached by a man in her driveway after walking home from the station. She got away unharmed. Police conducted an extensive search of the area, but were unable to locate him. By 10 pm, based on the reports and the number of police in the area, police doubt the suspect is still in Greenacres.

Here is their report:

(From the Scarsdale Police) On Thursday night at approximately 7:25 pm a Greenacres resident who walked home from the Hartsdale train station was confronted by a man in the driveway of her residence. The suspect grabbed the resident by the arm, and when she yelled out, the suspect fled. The victim was not injured and no property was taken. The resident stated that the suspect may have displayed a gun. The Scarsdale Police arrived quickly and conducted an extensive search of the area. The Scarsdale Police were assisted by the Westchester County Police, including canine and aviation units. At this time, a suspect has not been located, and the police are maintaining a high presence in the area.
