Opinion
March 27, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (O'Dwyer, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed.
The People failed to establish that the pursuit and detention of the defendant by the police was justified by a reasonable suspicion that the defendant had committed, or was about to commit, a crime (cf., People v. Leung, 68 N.Y.2d 734; People v Greaves, 123 A.D.2d 445, lv denied 69 N.Y.2d 712). Consequently, the hearing court did not err in granting that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress evidence recovered when she was seized by the police. Lawrence, J.P., Rubin, Eiber and Balletta, JJ., concur.
