Bronxville Blotter: Man Arrested After Attempted Break-in at Avalon Apartments

Nicholas Greco, of Bronxville, was arrested on Sunday, May 22, after police received a call about a possible break-in at the Avalon apartment complex at 125 Parkway Rd.

A taxi driver called police at 6:45 a.m. after he saw a man rip a window screen out of a ground floor apartment and then enter the apartment, said Bronxville police Sgt. Stephen Gallo.

Officers arrived at the building and arrested Greco, 26, who was found to be in possession of stolen credit cards and marijuana, Gallo said. Greco listed his address as 44 Milburn St., which is also part of the Avalon building.

Greco faces multiple charges, including criminal mischief, possession of marijuana, and criminal trespassing. He could face other charges.

Greco was arraigned Sunday, and unable to post the $15,000 bail, he was remanded to the Westchester County jail.
