The Bronxville Police Blotter: August 20 to August 24, 2016

By Bronxville Police Department

Saturday, August 20:  At 1:10 pm on Pondfield Road Police Office Jason Cooper charged A 34-year-old resident of Yonkers with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the 2nd Degree after being stopped for no distinctive license plate. He had three suspensions on his license stemming from failing to answer a summons in Mount Vernon and was released on his own recognizance pending his next court appearance.  The 2003 Mazda he was operating was impounded. 

Tuesday, August 23:  On Pondfield Road at 9:49 pm Sergeant William Carroll stopped five suspicious males on bicycles in the driveway of a residence.  After interviewing the homeowner, it was discovered that one of the males was in possession of a bicycle stolen from the residence.  The homeowner did not wish to sign a criminal complaint and the bicycle was returned.  The males, who were Bronx residents from 15 to 19, were released to their respective parents. 

Wednesday, August 24:  At Alden Place at 3:45 pm, a 37-year-old female resident was the victim of a “flim-flam” scam.  The victim listed a couch for sale on Craigslist for $350.  A subject mailed her a check for $1,610.00, which she deposited in her account.  The subject requested the overpayment back, as it was claimed to be an error.  The victim returned the difference via Western Union to find later that a stop payment had been ordered on the original check she had received.

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.
