WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. From a WPCNR CitizeNetReporter & Police Reports July 10, 2008; UPDATED July 12, 2008:  "The Fugitive"-like search for a fugitive observed by a CitizeNetReporter Thursday afternoon involving a helicopter, a bloodhound, White Plains police and high level police acitivity in Saxon Woods developed after a landsca[er's truck was stolen about 1:30 P.M. Thursday off Soundview Avenue.

Police report arresting a man on Mamaroneck Avenue in front of Stepinac High School alleged to be the truck thief at 5 P.M. Thursday ending the excitement. A WPCNR observer noticed the unusual "search," which police did not provide details on Thursday evening.

"I  first noticed the helicopter noise around 3 or 3:15 ish. It still is underway as I write this at 3:50, with the helicopter covering a more westerly area. 2 White Plains motorcycle police just rode by my house, as did a White Plains police car. They were driving slowly, looking into the woods, and looped through the neighboring streeets. There are photos of what appear to be a police helicopter (state or county) hovering at very low altitude. It flew repeatedly over Hillair Circle, Saxon Woods, and the area encompassing the Scarsdale/White Plains border and Saxon Woods Park and Golf Course along Saxon Woods Road. A neighbor who drove by saw me outside taking pictures and stopped to report she saw a lot of police and a dog, apparently involved in a search of some sort. "

Police did not return electronic requests  from WPCNR for an explanation of the activity as it was in progress and the degree of danger to residents the suspect or suspect(s) at the time represented.
