GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Greenburgh police are looking for a suspect who broke into a vehicle near Rumbrook Park on Oct. 12, and who might also be responsible for three vehicle break-ins in Yorktown.
Police responded to a call around 6:30 p.m., from a Yonkers man who said he was playing basketball on a court on Dobbs Ferry Road near Rumbrook Park, and when he returned to his vehicle, found his front passenger window broken, police said.
The man told police someone had stolen his pants containing his wallet with his drivers license and credit card, according to police reports. The man said he saw a white BMW in the area while he was playing basketball, police said.
Upon searching the area, police found a black backpack with a laptop in it, which police discovered was taken from the vehicle of a Mahopac woman while she was at Yorktown Club Fit. Yorktown police told Greenburgh police that three different vehicles had been broken into at that location.
Both Yorktown and Greenburgh police have no further information on a suspect and the investigation is still ongoing.
Greenburgh police also reported the following incidents:
Petit Larceny: A ShopRite employee was accused of stealing items from the store at 955 S. Central Ave. Video surveillance showed that Elvin Gomez, 44, of Yonkers, taking a television worth $400 from the stock room on Oct. 6. Gomez was arrested and charged with petit larceny, a misdemeanor.
Suspicious Incident: Greenburgh police units were dispatched on Oct. 14 at 5 p..m. after receiving a call that a male brandishing a handgun was in the area of Old Tarrytown Road and Manhattan Avenue. After searching the area, police were not able to locate the man.

The GREAT POLICE HUSH-UP of 2012; now in its 16th week.
And what may be elementary to Watson still is a puzzle to Greenburgh Police.
Who stole 19 laptops from the Theodore Community Center over the July 4 weekend?
News which reflects badly on the Town and the TDYCC staff just doesn't get any attention other than that forced into print by residents.
Imagine a locked room mystery that was opened by a key and no one under arrest...
Imagine videotape surveillance that no one "remembered" for three days allowing three days of taping to be automatically erased...
The Police Commissioner, a title jointly owned by the Town Board, appoints the Chief of Police: more of Feiner's politics of pressure in action and this being enacted behind the scenes. Police promotions, however, take place in full view being held at Town Board meetings.
