THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. COREY VANIER, Also Known as CHRIS MACKEY, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant was convicted of robbing the complainant of two chains. A detective testified that after he had a conversation with the complainant, the investigation focused on the defendant. Then, the detective later testified that the defendant was arrested. The defendant now contends that this testimony constitutes impermissible bolstering, requiring reversal. Because the defendant at no time objected to this testimony, his claim is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, People v. West, 56 N.Y.2d 662). In any event, this testimony "merely served as a necessary narrative of events leading to [the] defendant's arrest" ( People v. Stansberry, 205 A.D.2d 317, 318). The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

Rosenblatt, J. P., Miller, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
