Residents in the Town of Haverstraw will see their property taxes go up a little, depending on where they live in town. Haverstraw supervisor Howard Phillips says they’re a little over the tax cap, partially due to skyrocketing health insurance costs…

Phillips says he is also concerned police don’t contribute to the costs of their healthcare while other town employees who make lower salaries do. He calls that “unsustainable.”

Rockland police are in a “heightened stage” of alert as there are concerns of growing cases of gun violence, and anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ activities around the nation. Rockland Sheriff Lou Falco says patrols are being stepped up around the county, and he’s working with large, area shopping centers to make sure everything stays safe…

Several shootings recently in the city have also contributed to the increased state of alert by local authorities, though the sheriff says no specific threat has been made to any Rockland institution or groups of people.

Six Rockland residents have been arrested and charged with selling fentanyl and cocaine. Rockland District Attorney Tom Walsh said the arrests came from a long-term investigation into street level narcotics sales in the Town of Haverstraw and the Village of Spring Valley. The Narcotics Task Force arrested four suspects from Spring Valley, one from Nanuet and another from Pomona. They range in age from 21 to 45, and each faces possession and criminal sales charges, all felonies.

A Spring Valley man was arraigned yesterday on charges of shooting a Yonkers man in October. Westchester D-A Miriam Rocah says 21 year-old Nahkeem Janvier faces Attempted Murder, Attempted Assault, and other charges stemming from the incident. Janvier allegedly fired three shots at the 33-year-old victim on Vineyard Avenue in Yonkers. The victim made it to Jacobi Medical Center and was treated for his injuries. Four days after the shooting, Janvier was captured in Charlotte, North Carolina by the FBI and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. He is being held without bail.
