The incident happened on Monday, April 24, just before 6 p.m., when police responded to a CVS/Pharmacy location in Larchmont at 21 Chatsworth Ave. on a report of an assault and robbery, according to Village of Larchmont officials.
Authorities soon learned that the suspect had run away after robbing the store. Further investigation revealed that the suspect's description matched an individual who had also committed another robbery and assault on a Westchester County Bee Line bus, officials said.
