5 Charged in Cell Phone Theft at Train Station

A cell phone robbery at the White Plains train station resulted in the arrests of five people, four of them younger than 18, police say.

Police questioned a group of five males in the area of the train station after someone reported a cell phone had been stolen just before 11 p.m. Saturday night. Police stopped the group walking east on Hillside Terrace and found the cell phone in that area later Saturday night, according to police. The owner of the cell phone identified the five as the people who took the phone, according to an arrest report.

Four youths were arrested, along with 21-year-old Jozef Prenaj, of 2009 Cruger Ave., in the Bronx. Prenaj was charged with second-degree robbery, a felony. A 16-year-old suspect who police say used a fake name while being processed was charged with second-degree robbery, a felony, and false personation, a misdemeanor. Both were held for court.

The three other suspects were processed and released to their parents.
