Home Invasion in Edgemont [UPDATED]

A home invasion took place Sunday 12/20 at 4PM at a home on Fort Hill Lane off Fort Hill Road, near Ardsley Road. Based on information from the police, the homeowners, a man and his wife, ages 65 and 63, answered the door. Three men forced their way in, subdued the couple at knifepoint, tied them up, and then ransacked the house, removing among other things a 51 inch TV, computers and jewelry. Fortunately nobody was hurt. The police are looking for three male suspects described as three Hispanic males, one armed with a knife. We understand that the suspects did not wear masks.  Based on the use of a weapon and the willingness of the suspects to confront the homeowners, the police do not believe this latest incident is connected to other burglaries in the area. Greenburgh detectives are currently investigating with the assistance of the Westchester County Intelligence Unit, which is provided by the Westchester County District Attorney's office.

Until suspects are apprehended, residents are advised to not open their door to anyone they do not know, to take all precautions to avoid burglaries by keeping their houses locked and alarmed, and to report immediately anything that looks suspicious to the Greenburgh police.

In a separate incident, residents on Warnke Road report that at 10 am Monday morning 12/21,  a man drove up to their house in a white van and rang the doorbell. He told the sitter (who would not open the door) that he was there to do a house inspection (which was not true). The residents called the Greenburgh police to report the incident but it was later learned that the man was an employee of J.P. McHale Pest Management who had come to the site to do a legitimate home inspection.

Please share this information with your neighbors Edgemont residents as soon as possible.
