NEW CITY, NY — Three people were arrested following an armed robbery on the Palisades Interstate Parkway northbound at Exit 10 on Nov. 15.

The investigation revealed that a 21-year-old male victim left a bar in Nyack with a woman he had met inside the establishment.
The woman, later identified as Jordyn M. Casserly, 22, of Monroe, convinced the victim they would be traveling to her residence.

The victim was robbed at gunpoint and released on the parkway near Exit 10, and the suspect vehicle fled the area.
A BOLO was issued to patrols in the surrounding area.
Shortly afterward, troopers located the suspects and conducted a high-risk traffic stop on Derby Road in Wallkill.
