Man Accused Of Stealing Car In Greenwich, Crashing In NY: Police

GREENWICH, CT — Police said a 25-year-old man was extradited on Monday from Westchester County Jail to the Greenwich Police Department to face charges in connection with a stolen vehicle from earlier this month.

On March 4 around 3:19 p.m., police said a man, later identified as Safiyy Robinson of Newark, N.J., stole a Range Rover from a home on Burying Hill Road in Greenwich. Lt. Martin O'Reilly of the GPD said the car was unlocked with the keys inside.

Robinson drove out of Greenwich's jurisdiction into New York, where Westchester County Police tried stopping him on the Hutchinson River Parkway near exit 14 in Pelham, N.Y., O'Reilly said.

Robinson then crashed the car and was apprehended, according to O'Reilly.

Upon returning to Greenwich, Robinson was charged with first-degree larceny and given a bond of $100,000, which he could not post, his arrest report stated.

Robinson is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on April 4.
