Incident early this morning around 3 am or so State St, gunplay, fighting. Thought scanner reported 10-15 shots, not 100% on that. Cops chasing people thru yards, McClellan, Furman areas.  Something about a restaurant near that area, I thought all were closed by that time. Happy New Year,I think it's gonna be worse this year.

2 women charged in theft of TV from Rotterdam Walmart
ROTTERDAM AND SCHENECTADY -- Rotterdam police have charged two women in the theft of a 46-inch television from Walmart on Altamont Avenue.

Police received a call at 9 p.m. on New Year's Day that a robbery had just occurred.

After an investigation, officers determined that two women had stolen the TV and one had implied to employees while fleeing the store that she had a gun.

The pair fled the store in a red Toyota Camry, which was located a short time later by Schenectady police on Pleasant Street in Schenectady.

The vehicle was occupied by Sarah Hughes, 31, of Spruce Street in Schenectady and Alisha Vanleuven, 29, of Hillside Avenue in Niskayuna.

They were taken into custody and charged with second-degree robbery, a class C felony. They were arraigned in Rotterdam Town Court and remanded to Schenectady County jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.

The TV was later recovered at a residence on George Street in Schenectady.

The investigation is continuing; police say further charges are expected.
