WASHINGTON HEIGHTS — A fleet-footed Bronx teen was nabbed after eluding police for three hours following his escape from the local police precinct after being arrested Monday for a string of burglaries, according to reports.
Police said they were unsure how Roilin Reynoso, 17 — who has at least four prior arrests for grand larceny, criminal contempt and a pair of assaults — escaped the 33rd Precinct station house on Amsterdam Avenue and West 169th Street, the New York Post reported.
Police discovered Reynoso hiding at a friend’s apartment on West 162nd Street at 9 p.m. after scouring the neighborhood, Highbridge Park and his mother’s house in the Bronx, the Post said.
There were no immediate details on charges.
