July 5, 2019, 9:57 am, White Plains Road: A 19-year-old Bronx female was charged with endangering the welfare of a child after the summer camp van she was operating, carrying 17 children between the ages of four and six years, struck a pole. The van carrying 19 total passengers was equipped with only 15 safety belts and no child passenger safety seats or booster seats, which are required in New York State for children until the age of eight. Eight of the children were given medical attention from the Eastchester Volunteer Ambulance Corps for various physical complaints of pain. The driver was also cited for operating an unregistered motor vehicle and operating out of class for not having a passenger endorsement. The 19-year-old female was processed and released on her own recognizance pending her next court appearance.
July 7, 2019, 10:56 am Pondfield Road: A 43-year-old woman of the Bronx was charged with misdemeanor suspended registration after she was stopped for disobeying a traffic control device and a subsequent inquiry revealed that the registration to the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe she was operating was suspended due to an insurance lapse. The woman was also cited for operating without insurance and operating an unregistered motor vehicle. The aforementioned vehicle was impounded and the woman was processed on scene and released pending her next court appearance.
July 9, 2019, 12:45 pm, Pondfield Road, CVS: A 33-year-old man of Yonkers was charged with petit larceny after he stole $391.54 worth of merchandise--phone chargers, sunglasses, and earrings--and fled the store. Police located the man with the stolen items trying to flee on the southbound Metro-North platform. A search incident to lawful arrest also led to the man being charged with criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument. The man was arraigned by Judge George Mayer and remanded to Westchester County Jail pending his next court appearance.

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
