NEW ROCHELLE
New Rochelle detectives are investigating an apparently unrelated weekend chain snatching and attempted robbery.
A 48-year-old New Rochelle woman and her teenage daughter walked by a skinny young man in a white tank top and blue jeans standing at a bus stop at 7:47 p.m. Friday near Main Street and Pintard Avenue. Moments later, he snatched a $600 gold chain from around the woman’s neck, Detective Captain Joseph Schaller said.
In the other incident, a 17-year-old city girl told police she was on Franklin Avenue at 1:30 p.m. Friday when a tall man whose clothing included a white T-shirt tried unsuccessfully to grab her cell phone.
