Cops Nab 2 After Rolex Grab-and-Run in Mount Kisco

Westchester County Police on Thursday arrested two suspects in connection to a store heist in Mount Kisco that occurred earlier in the day.

The first suspect was arrested within minutes of a grab-and-run theft of two Rolex watches valued together at more than $50,000. The second suspect eluded police for hours but was eventually taken into custody in Mount Kisco at 10:30 p.m.

The theft occurred about 2:50 p.m. Thursday when a man posing as a customer entered Wilson and Sons jewelers at 29 South Moger Ave. After asking to see various expensive watches, the man suddenly grabbed two of them from the counter and fled from the store.

The thief ran across South Moger Avenue to a waiting car, which fled south on South Moger. Witnesses described the vehicle as a green or gold-colored Lincoln Navigator.

Within minutes, Westchester County Police Officer Scott Forsythe observed a vehicle matching the description on Route 133 near Manchester Drive. When he pulled the vehicle over, the passenger jumped out and ran off. Forsythe detained the driver and took him into custody.

County police utilized patrol officers, detectives, canines and the Aviation Unit helicopter during the search for the second suspect. He was taken into custody at a cemetery off Lexington Avenue.

Thomas Curry, 28, of Staten Island was charged with Grand Larceny 2 nd Degree, a felony. He is being held at the Westchester County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail. He is due back in Mount Kisco Justice Court on Aug. 4.

Joseph Mason, 25, also of Staten Island was charged with Criminal Facilitation 4 th Degree, a misdemeanor. He will be arraigned at a future date
