Robbery in Stony Point leads to four arrests

The robbery of a 16-year-old in Stony Point led to the arrest of four other teens from both Rockland and Orange County on a number of charges, including conspiracy, on November 2.

Xavier Torres, 17 of West Haverstraw, Dillon Roberts, 17 of Sloatsburg, Dennis Josephs, 17 of West Haverstraw, and Vaughn Kishaun, 16 of Highland Mills, were arrested for planning out and orchestrating the robbery of a 16-year-old with a fake pistol. The four took money, a cell phone and other personal property before escaping.

An investigation led to their arrest. The four are charged with a number of crimes including robbery in the second degree, conspiracy in the fourth degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree and endangering the welfare of a child.

They are being held on $150,000 bail each and are due back in court on November 7.
