Three individuals are facing charges following the robbery of a DoorDash delivery driver in Hudson. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of August 20 near Strawberry Alley. According to the Hudson City Police Department, the delivery driver was approached by three men who demanded his wallet and the food order he was delivering. One of the suspects claimed to have a firearm, although no weapon was displayed. Fearing for his safety, the victim handed over his iPhone, cash, and the food order. Fortunately, he was not physically harmed during the encounter.
Following an investigation by the Hudson City Police Department, with assistance from the Columbia County District Attorney's Office and the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, the suspects were identified and arrested. A search warrant authorized by Columbia County Judge Herman led to the recovery of the victim's stolen iPhone at a residence in Valatie, New York.
Currently, one of the suspects is being held at the Columbia County Jail, while the other two have been released from custody. Authorities are urging anyone with additional information about the robbery or related incidents to contact the Hudson Police Department at (518) 828-3388. For more details, visit CBS6 Albany.
