Criminal mischief on St. John’s Place
July 4, 2008

On Tuesday, July 1, at 4:35 p.m., officers from the New Castle police responded to a report of fireworks in the area of St. John’s Place.
“When they arrived at the scene,” according to the police report, “they interviewed a witness who stated that he saw two persons throw a bottle into the street that caused a small fire.”
The two suspects had fled from the scene by the time the police arrived, but not long before. Under those circumstances, when suspects may still be in the area, the New Castle Police sometimes calls in help from the canine unit of the Westchester County Police to try to track the suspects. The canine unit arrived and the dog attempted to track the suspects from the scene. Unfortunately, the dog was unable to locate them.
According to Lieutenant Marc Simmons of the New Castle Police, there was no evidence to suggest that the suspects were targeting anyone with their bottle-throwing, and no one was ever in any danger.
The case is still under investigation and the police request that if anyone has any information that could help them, please contact the detective division at 238-1566.
