Scarsdale detectives tracked down and arrested two female suspects this week – relating to two separate incidents. One woman had cashed over $2,000 in fraudulent checks from Savona and another, who is a seasoned offender, was arrested for a car break-in at the high school. Here are the details:
Police located and arrested a suspect who was responsible for stealing $2,275 from Savona Restaurant by cashing fraudulent checks from the restaurant. As the result of an investigation, police identified Krystal C. Judge, age 21 (pictured at left) as a suspect and met her at the Hartsdale Train Station at 3:40 pm on September 25. When questioned she admitted to cashing three fraudulent checks at three Chase branches on August 19, for a total of $2,275.24. Police obtained videotape of her at the three branches. She was charged with Grand Larceny in the 4th degree and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the 3rd degree. Her mother came to headquarters and posted $200 bail and she was released pending a court date of 10/2. The report does not say how she obtained the blank checks. However, the restaurant's losses total over $10,000 and the Scarsdale Police Department's Detective Division is continuing to investigate the matter for other suspects who cashed additional fraudulent checks.
An investigation into a car break-in at the tennis courts on Wayside Lane in July led to another arrest this week. Using DNA 
from blood samples found inside the car, the Westchester County Crime Lab obtained a DNA profile and found that it matched Marie Nikgjonaj, a known offender who was listed in the NY State DNA registry and has been arrested 15 times, primarily for Burglary, Larceny and Forgery. Nikgionai is 34 years old and lives in the Bronx. She came to police headquarters and did not deny that she had broken into the cars. After further questioning she requested a lawyer. She was charged with Criminal Mischief and arraigned before Judge Galloway who set bail at $10,000 in cash or a $20,000 bond due to her long arrest record and failure to appear. She was then transported to Westchester County Jail. The Scarsdale Police Department's Detective Division is continuing to investigate the defendant and her associates for involvement in other crimes within Scarsdale.
Domestic Abuse: At 11:50 pm on September 28 an Arthur Manor woman called 911 to report that her estranged husband had broken into her home. Police responded and found that the 36 year-old mother had been assaulted and injured. The couple's three children were also in the house. The victim was transported to the hospital and police officers investigated the incident. The victim's estranged husband, a 41 year-old resident of White Plains was arrested a short time after the incident. He was charged with Burglary, Criminal Trespass, Assault 2nd Degree, Criminal Mischief and endangering the welfare of a child. The defendant was remanded to the Westchester County Jail on $50,000 bail and an Order of Protection was issued. To protect victims of domestic violence, the names of those involved are not provided to the media.
Confusion at Pick Up: The Principal of Fox Meadow School called police at 12:20 on September 27 to say that a kindergartner at the school was missing. The child had last been seen at 11:50 am.

He provided police with copies of the deposited checks, a bank statement and the Facebook dialog. He reported the incident on 9/29.
Trees: A couple from Olmstead Road complained that neighbors on Brite Avenue had damaged one of their trees. The Brite Avenue neighbors had a permit to remove three trees from the property line and replace them with three trees that were similar in size.

Instead, they cut off 15-20 limbs of the tree above and below the roofline. Police said that the Village would follow-up on the complaints.
