PEOPLE v. BREAZIL

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The police had a reasonable suspicion to stop and frisk the defendant. A police radio transmission received in the early morning hours reported a robbery in progress at a stated corner and described the robbers as six black males, one or more of whom were on bicycles. One of these robbers was described as being armed and wearing all-white clothing. Within seconds of hearing the transmission, a police officer arrived at that corner and observed the defendant, who was dressed in all-white clothing and riding a bicycle. The officer was justified in stopping the defendant, as he fit the description of one of the robbers and was in close spatial and temporal proximity to the crime scene at a time when the streets were not busy (see, People v. Sharpe, 259 A.D.2d 639 ; People v. Schollin, 255 A.D.2d 465 ). The pat-down of the defendant for weapons, conducted upon the stop, was justified to ensure the officer's safety since the radio transmission reported that the man dressed in white was armed, it was late at night, and the officer planned to put the defendant inside the patrol car (see, People v. Salaman, 71 N.Y.2d 869 ; People v. Sledge, 225 A.D.2d 711 ).

The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
