Police are also saying the suspect and the vehicle involved in this incident match the description of a suspect involved in multiple local commercial armed robberies.

New York State Police said in a press release that they stopped the vehicle traveling on Route 9 after 11 PM on January 17. Once it was determined that the suspect did not have a valid driver’s license, the suspect drove off, according to police.
