A man tailed two elderly women about a mile from Yonkers, NY’s Empire City Casino to their residence where they were robbed on Tuesday, police said.
The two women, one 83, the other 86, had just pulled into a driveway at a Valentine Street residence in Yonkers at about 3:30 p.m. They were just about to leave their car when the suspect approached. He pulled out a firearm and stole their purses from inside the car, according to the Yonkers Daily Voice. He next fled down the driveway to a parked black Acura sedan, which sped away with an unidentified second suspect at the wheel.
Neither woman was injured, according to Yonkers police Detective Lt. Dean Politopoulos.
The suspect is a Black man in his late 20s or early 30s. He was dressed in a black baseball-style cap and a black T-shirt, and was wearing sunglasses.
Police continue to search for the suspect. If found, officers will likely apply for an arrest
