Brooklyn Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Armed Attack on School Bus Drivers in Westchester

Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced that Brooklyn resident Tony Mauro was sentenced to 10 years in state prison for an armed attack on a group of workers, including school bus drivers, employed by Royal Coach Lines at the company’s Greenburgh bus depot in 2018.

Mauro, 41, was sentenced as a Second Violent Felony Offender on June 17, 2022, to 10 years in
state prison, with five years of post-release supervision. Mauro pled guilty to Criminal Use of a
Firearm in the First Degree, a violent felony.

“Gun violence in our community will have consequences,” DA Rocah said. “No one should have
to face the barrel of a gun while doing their job, let alone our transportation workers. We are
grateful to all of the law enforcement who helped ensure the victims were physically
unharmed.”

On November 16, 2018, at approximately 4 a.m., Mauro ordered three victims at gunpoint onto a
bus that was parked at the depot. He then fired a shot that struck the car of a fourth employee
whom he had ordered out of the car. During the incident, which occurred during a blizzard, one
of the victims was able to send a text for help, and Mauro fled the scene on foot as Greenburgh
Police arrived.

The Greenburgh Police Department arrested Mauro following a pursuit and investigation, with
assistance from the Greenburgh Towns and Villages SWAT Team and the Westchester County
Department of Public Safety.

The case was before Judge Robert Neary in Westchester County Court, and was prosecuted by
the Trials and Investigations Division of the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office.
