Police: Homeowner Interrupts Attempted Burglary

This report was derived from information from the Hastings-on-Hudson Police Department, it does not indicate a conviction.

A 47-year-old Hastings-on-Hudson resident entered her home on Mount Hope Boulevard on Oct. 5 at 2:58 p.m. to find someone standing in the rear of her home that she didn’t know. 

The stranger, who is believed to have allegedly entered through an open kitchen window, immediately ran out of the house and jumped into a black Chevrolet that was last seen on Southgate Avenue, police said.

Police said they believe the suspect was allegedly attempting to rob the home.

The homeowner, who took down the car’s license plate number, immediately called police. Police discovered that the car belonged to a male who lived on Highland Avenue in Yonkers. A countywide alert was issued and Hastings-on-Hudson and Yonkers Police waited near the car owner’s home.

Sally Revel was stopped in the car about two blocks from Highland Avenue and was allegedly positively identified as the suspect, according to police.

Revel, a 44-year-old Yonkers resident, was arrested, charged with criminal trespassing in the second degree a misdemeanor and held on $30,000 bail.

The letter does not seem to mention if they have personal experience as an educator or as a parentRead More with kids now, kids past years or kids future years in the Irvington School District. Sometimes the perspective is different if you have lived the experience with kids in the Irvington School District. I have three kids -- one graduate last year and is at Cornell University, one is grade nine and one is grade three. All three got great teachers, small class size and extra help or enrichment as needed. I think the arts programs can be expanded -- music, drama, fine arts (both in classes and electives plus stipends to pay teachers for clubs and after school activities). However, this is a school district that values having small class size and keeping strong all the academics core subjects required for graduation and college plus making a priority sports opportunities middle school through high schools at all levels and types of sports. If you are high achiever it works grades k-12; if you are a child with special education needs or learning issues needs or extra help needs it works too. The average student is the one who is often forgotten in Irvington School District since they just do their thing in school, after school activities and move from grade to grade uneventful but nothing that will be memorable at least in my experience.
