Three New Jersey teenagers have been arrested after Ramapo Police identified them as the suspects accused of throwing eggs at pedestrians from a passing vehicle in Monsey and Airmont earlier this week.

According to the Ramapo Police Department, officers responded around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 19, after receiving multiple reports of pedestrians being struck by eggs thrown from a moving vehicle in areas in Monsey and Airmont. No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.

Over the following several days, the department’s Investigations Division conducted a detailed investigation using witness statements, license plate reader (LPR) technology, and security camera footage. Investigators identified the suspect vehicle, which originated from New Jersey, and determined the identities of the occupants.

On Thursday, police arrested the three occupants of the vehicle, an 18-year-old, a 17-year-old, and a 15-year-old, all New Jersey residents. The  three individuals were involved in three separate throwing incidents across the neighborhood.

Each of the three defendants has been charged with three counts of second-degree harassment, a violation under New York State law. Ramapo Police thanked members of the community for their cooperation and reminded residents that reporting such reckless activity plays an important role in helping keep local neighborhoods safe.
