Welcome ladies and gentlemen to "Rye Police News". This is a news
and information program brought to you by Police
Commissioner William R. Connors and the city of Rye Police department.
These are the news and information stories leading up to the 24th of February.
I'm your host, Officer Gary L.
Olivier. Our first story is as follows:
Rye Police units responded to a mutual aid call from the MT. Pleasant
Police Department on the morning of the 16th. MT Pleasant requested assistance
for a shooting that occurred at Tino's restaurant. Rye Units assisted the MT
Pleasant units at the scene. An arrest was made the next day. Good work by the
Mt Pleasant police and the other police agencies that responded to assist.
An unknown idiot or idiots with nothing better to do decided to vandalize
several vehicles in the Station Plaza lot last week. Tires were slashed and
vehicles sustained other damage during the day on the 21st. Patrol units
responded to the area and logged the reports. A total of 700.00 in damage has
been reported. The area has been given extra patrol.
A Dale Street resident reported to police that an unknown person has been
making fraudulent purchases on one of her credit cards. The amount of the
purchases is 2500.00. Rye Detectives have it and will follow up.
A Milton Road resident reported to police that 2000.00 was stolen from her
bank account sometime around the 20th. Police logged the report and the
detectives will follow up on this.
A Yonkers man will have some explaining to do in Rye City Court. Elias
Shleiwet was arrested by Rye Patrol units on the 20th for allegedly assaulting
a co worker at the Rye Getty station. According to reports, the two men began
arguing while working in the mechanic bays. The argument escalated into a
physical confrontation. Schleiwet was processed at Rye HQ and released on
bail.
A Parkway Drive resident reported to police that two vehicles parked in his
driveway were broken into and vandalized. This occurred overnight on the 16th.
Apparently the unknown low life's who did this attempted to steal one or both
of the vehicles but, were unsuccessful. A next door neighbor reported to
police that his vehicle had been entered too. Patrol units logged a report and
will give the area extra patrol as time and manpower allow.

The A+P super market located on Boston Post Road was the scene of a theft
last week. Apparently two black males entered the store and attempted to by
several cases of beer with out proper ID. The clerk denied the sale but when
the clerk turned away from the duo, they fled out of the store. Patrol units
logged a report and checked the area to no avail. (They must have been
thirsty).
Apparently some bottom feeder targeted a resident of Rye manor last week.
The victim reported to police that several pieces of jewelry was taken from
her apartment sometime after Christmas. Police logged a report and turned it
over to the detectives for further. To the piece of human refuse who
perpetrated this crime against one of our senior citizens, I hope this brings
you nothing but pain, misery and suffering. Your are a low life at best.
How about some arrests ??.
A motorist flagged down Officer Julio Rossi and alerted him to an erratic
driver on the 11th. Officer Rossi began to canvas the area when he was almost
struck by the suspects vehicle. Rossi effected a traffic stop and shortly
afterward, placed the vehicles operator under arrest. He was charged with DWI
and a host of other driving charges. Hold on it gets better. The defendant, a
Loja Robinson of Danbury was later charged with a number of felonies, one
being possession of a forged instrument. He was remanded to the county jail
and has appeared in Rye City Court to answer the slew of charges. Good heads
up work by Officer Rossi, assisted by Officer Mike Anfuso.
Officer Rossi again:
While on patrol on the 20th, Officer Rossi effected a traffic stop on
Boston Post Rd. Upon speaking to driver, Officer Rossi ascertained that the
vehicles registration was suspended. The driver, a Danny Ceja of Portchester,
was placed under arrest and processed at Rye HQ.
Officer Mike Anfuso bagged another one last week. Anfuso arrested and
processed a Mr. Edgar Tellez for operating a motor vehicle while suspended.
Oh, I'm sorry, I mean "allegedly" operating a motor vehicle while
suspended. The defendant was processed and will have a date with the judge.

A quick one. A resident recently asked me to point out that even though
much of the inland waters of LI Sound have frozen over, it is NOT safe to walk
on the ice. Parents, make sure your children know and understand this. The Ice
is NOT safe to walk on.

While on patrol PO Cancel stopped a motorist on Play land Parkway for the
usual. Upon speaking to the defendant, Cancel detected an odor of marijuana in
the car and an odor of an alcoholic beverage. Upon further investigation, PO

bucks bail to get out. He has upcoming court dates.
