Runaway suitcase
A Post Road caller May 28 told police her purple suitcase on rollers was stolen from her car; there was a little more to it as the suitcase wasn’t actually inside her car when it went missing and seems to have rolled away. She tracked it through her iPad device to an address in Eastchester. Police went to that location and spoke with some contractors who found the bag but there was a language barrier. One man said he put it in his work truck after he saw it rolling on Post Road where it was obstructing traffic and was intending to turn it into the police. Police took custody of the suitcase; the owner couldn’t prove it was hers because she couldn’t get into it due to a TSA lock. She thanked police for getting it back and said she would be following up with the TSA how to unlock it.
What was going on here?
Police went to Depot Plaza May 30 for a report of a possible “strong arm” robbery.

They were seen in the vicinity of Ardsley Road and Lynwood Road. Multiple agencies including the MTA were advised to be on the lookout. One of the witnesses reported seeing blood on the first man’s neck. Why anyone thought there’d been a robbery remains a mystery.
Remove, don’t shoot
A caller May 30 on Black Birch Lane said there was a snake in her yard. She said an HVAC worker saw it in the condenser and wanted to shoot it but it was too close to the house. Meanwhile the homeowner’s son in law used a grabber tool to relocate the snake to the other side of the river on the caller’s property. No police action was deemed necessary.
Harsh words

Not my car
A Tunstall Road caller May 30 said an unknown car was parked in her driveway. Keys were left in her mailbox. Police determined the car was recently serviced and was dropped off at the wrong address. Contact was made with the owner who came to collect it.
Just go away
Police took a report May 31 from an Oak Lane resident who complained her ex-girlfriend continues to annoy her and her family, contacting them via phone message and attempting contact through social media.
