Woman, 24, Charged In Connection With Mason Street Robbery: Greenwich Police

GREENWICH, CT — Police said that a 24-year-old woman wanted in connection with a burglary that occurred on Mason Street in Greenwich on June 25 turned herself in to police Friday morning.

Kristen McKenzie, of Metairie, La., responded to Greenwich Police Headquarters on an active arrest warrant that charged her with first-degree robbery, fourth-degree larceny and fourth-degree conspiracy to commit larceny, police said. She's currently being held on a $1.5 million bond.

Lamoine Ward, 25, of LaPlace, La., was arrested in Nevada Aug. 1 on a warrant held by the GPD related to the case. Ward is still being held in custody in Nevada and is awaiting sentencing there for charges involving larceny, possession of a stolen vehicle, engaging police in pursuit and firearms violations, police said.

Ward will be eventually extradited to Connecticut for the arrest warrant held by the GPD for the charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and fourth-degree conspiracy to commit larceny.

Police said that McKenzie tried to steal several items from the Consigned Designs on Mason Street on the afternoon of June 25. She was confronted by store employees outside of the store.

Ward then used his vehicle to hit one of the store employees, police said.

"After striking the employee, he pointed a firearm at the employee while he lay on the ground," police said.

The two were then able to drive off.

Kristen McKenzie responded to GPD Headquarters to turn herself in for the active arrest warrant held by the Greenwich Police Department. The warrant alleges McKenzie and Lamoine Ward committed a robbery at a local store on June 25, 2022. McKenzie could not post the court-set bond and was transported to Stamford Superior Court.

Lamoine Ward is still being held in custody in the State of Nevada.
