RPD: 18-year-old woman in custody after alleged involvement with stolen cars, assault, robbery of elderly man

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – On Monday night at 11:15, Rochester Police found a stolen Kia Sedan flipped over by Edgerton Street and Park Avenue.

Police say the Kia was traveling southbound on Edgerton Street when it hit a car that no one was in and then flipped over onto its roof. The people in the Kia left the scene before police arrived.

In connection with the crash, police arrested an 18-year-old woman, Demaria Brown, who was also involved in a robbery of an 80-year-old man at 7:45 a.m. on Monday, near 500 South Ave.

In the robbery, two suspects allegedly assaulted the victim and then stole his 2015 Ford Explorer. Brown was taken to the Monroe County Jail and police are working to identify and arrest the second suspect. At this time, they don’t think a 19-year-old woman involved in the Kia crash was involved in the robbery. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 911.

Brown is charged with assault, robbery, and grand larceny.
