The Clarkstown Police Juvenile Aid Bureau is currently investigating an incident that occurred at the Palisades Center Mall on Saturday April 13, 2019 at approximately 4:30 pm. The incident included numerous juveniles and a female adult. At this point in the investigation, the incident stems from an ongoing issue of stolen sneakers. The detectives have identified and interviewed the adult female that was pictured on various social media sites. A determination will be made as to charges being filed against the adult female for larceny of a cell phone.

There were 2 male victims that were both transported to Nyack ER for non-life threatening injuries. They were treated and released from the hospital. Both male victims were juveniles and their parents have been updated on the investigation.

For Clarification: The 2 male juvenile victims were not involved in the issue of stolen sneakers. They appear to be falsely identified by the group that engaged in the assault. The Clarkstown Police Department apologizes for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

The detectives are working with our School Resource Officers to identify the other participants in this incident. If you have any information on this incident please call the Clarkstown Police Juvenile Aid Bureau at 845-639-5835.
