WHITE PLAINS – A Brooklyn resident 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.

Westchester District Attorney Miriam Rocah said Tony Mauro, 41, was sentenced as a second violent felony offender on Friday, June 17, was also sentenced to five years of post-release supervision.

He pled guilty to criminal use of a firearm as a violent felony.

At about 4 a.m. on November 16, 2018, 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 as Greenburgh Police arrived.

He was arrested following a pursuit and investigation.
