Police Still Looking For Armed Robbers in Larchmont

Police say they are still searching for two people that they believe attempted to rob a delivery truck behind a Larchmont pizzeria Wednesday afternoon.

At about 2:30 p.m a man approached a delivery truck behind Leonardo's Pizzeria, located at 2133 Palmer Avenue in Larchmont, brandishing a black pellet gun that at the time was believed to be a pistol. The suspect, who concealed his face, ordered two delivery men to stand at the side of the truck while a second suspect entered the cab and tried to break into a safe inside the vehicle, according to a police statement.

The robbery was unsuccessful, according to police, and the suspects fled eastbound away from the scene. 

Police canvassed the area with a helicopter as well as a K-9 unit but were unable to locate the robbers. The K-9 search closed an intersection near 5 Park Plaza in Larchmont for about 20 minutes Wednesday afternoon before it was called off.

Police said Thursday that a substantial amount of physical evidence was recovered during the search, including a pellet gun they believe was used in the attempted robbery. 

The Larchmont Police responded with assistance from the Westchester County, Harrison, New Rochelle and Mamaroneck Police Departments.

Evidence was processed with the assistance of the Westchester County Police Crime Scene Unit.
