Between, March 22nd and 26th, the Village of Mamaroneck Police Department investigated the following:

Burglary

Arrests

- On March 22nd, at approximately 8 p.m., a 46-year-old female was arrested at Sal's Pizzeria for disorderly conduct. The Village resident was intoxicated and yelling inside the premise and refused to leave when police asked her to, according to police reports. She was taken to the police station, where EMS was called due to her condition. She was released on an appearance ticket and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

MVA with injuries

- An 85-year-old woman said she was driving west on the 700 block of Boston Post Road when another vehicle came into her lane, forcing her to collide with a parked vehicle.

Larceny
