Bronx resident Jvon Adams was arrested on Wednesday, July 24 in the parking lot of a CVS Pharmacy in New Rochelle at 222 North Ave., according to New Rochelle Police Captain J. Collins Coyne.
According to Coyne, at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, the department was told that a stolen vehicle was parked in the lot. Detectives responded to the pharmacy and found the car parked and unoccupied.
Authorities then began surveilling the car in hopes that the owner would return. Sure enough, Adams returned to the car, and detectives pounced, taking him into custody without incident.
Adams was also allegedly found in possession of a "comb knife" during his arrest, Coyne said. He was charged with:
- Third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle, a misdemeanor;
- Third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony.
