On Sunday, police were dispatched to IBM Town Park, where a man reported that he spotted another person closing the passenger side door of his car in the parking lot.

Police said that after being confronted, the man stated that “he had confused the vehicle for his own.” The stranger then allegedly walked to the far side of the parking lot and got into a late-model white GMC Suburban and left.

According to police, the man was unable to provide a description of the stranger. Following the incident, police increased patrols in the area and have been monitoring it.

Other items on the North Castle Police Department blotter from Saturday, May 13 through Friday, May 19 include:

  • Police assisted a person in distress on Sunday night after receiving a call from the Help Hotline regarding someone who had called in saying that he was inside of the Cranberry Lake Preserve on a bench. According to the report, the caller said he was “struggling to live in White Plains” and if he “continues the way he’s going he’ll be dead.” Officers were able to track down the man in distress and were able to calm him down and reassuring him before allowing him to return home.
  • The following day, officers were dispatched to the overpass north of exit 3 on I-684 after state police received reports of a person possibly laying in the roadway.
