The arrests were announced Friday, June 6, by the Town of Ramapo Police Department, following an investigation by the department’s Detective Bureau.
A 26-year-old man was taken into custody for allegedly being involved in two separate incidents, according to police. He was charged with second-degree robbery, petit larceny, and theft of service.
He was arraigned before a judge and remanded to the Rockland County Jail. His next court date in Ramapo Court is pending.
Police also arrested a 27-year-old woman, also from Hillcrest, who was charged with petit larceny and theft of service.
She was released on her own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
Authorities said the arrests stem from recent reports of taxi drivers being robbed or shortchanged for fares.
