Message from the Mayor - Auto Theft on Stratford Avenue

In light of various Social Media reports, I feel it necessary to address the incident that took place on November 1st

As many are aware, during the evening hours, an armed carjacking took place on Stratford Avenue at the intersection of Brown Street.  A nonresident was approached by an unknown male.  He asked her to exit her vehicle, entered the car and drove away from the scene.  There was no physical confrontation and no injuries were reported. 

The matter is currently under active police investigation.  Williston Park has been and continues to be an extremely safe Village.  Isolated incidents as mentioned are not indicative of the Village, but rather situational in nature. 

As noted in the past, be observant of your surroundings and keep an “open eye” for yourself, family, friends and neighbors.  If unusual or suspicious behavior/activity is observed, contact the NCPD by calling 911, immediately.
