Attempted Burglary in Eastchester Monday Night

EASTCHESTER, NY - There was an attempted burglary Monday evening in the Chester Heights section of the Town of Eastchester.

Just before midnight, a resident was alerted by her dog that there were people near her house.

She saw two females in front of her house and a man leaving her property with a flashlight.

Police said she spoke to them and the women insinuated they were looking for a friend.

All three individuals left the area in a dark-colored vehicle.

When police arrived, they found evidence that there was an attempt to enter the home through a rear window and possibly the front door. Police said the homeowner’s attempt to speak with the suspects was enough to prevent the burglary.

Police are asking for residents of the neighborhood to call if they may have noticed something or felt that something wasn’t “quite right” last night.

A timely response could dramatically increase the chance of finding a suspect, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call 914-961-3464 or 911.
