By Bronxville Police Department


Tuesday, March 28, 9:30 pm:  Officers responded to a loud party on Sycamore Street. Upon arrival, a large group of youths fled the scene in all directions, leaving beer and alcohol containers scattered about the property. Several juveniles were interviewed on scene and released to parents. No one was in need of medical attention. 

Wednesday, March 29, 5:07 pm:  A previously stolen 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee was located on a dead-end street in New Rochelle. The vehicle was recovered by Bronxville detectives and processed for fingerprints and DNA. 

Thursday, March 30, 10:25 am:  At Bolton Gardens, a homeowner reported that someone had attempted to steal her bicycle from her front steps overnight, but the chain lock deterred the theft. 

Thursday, March 28, 2:47 pm:  On Pondfield Road, a Bronxville youth reported that he had become perturbed when an individual, who apparently thought that the youth was recording him with his cell phone, made a hand gesture in the direction of the youth.

Friday, March 31, 2:33 pm:  On Summit Avenue, Bronxville police officers responded to a 911 call from a resident on Summit Avenue. The homeowner reported that a subject was attempting to retrieve a UPS package that had been delivered to the address with a different name. Officers arrived quickly while the subject was still on the property. As a result of the subsequent investigation, a 21-year-old man from Yonkers was charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the 3rd Degree (class D felony) for possessing a gravity knife and having a prior criminal conviction. The investigation regarding possible fraudulent activity is ongoing and may result in further charges at a later date.

Saturday, April 1, 10:48 pm:  On Locust Lane, officers responded to a report of a group of youths causing a disturbance. No crime was committed, and the youths left the area of their own accord.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
