Opinion
June 30, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Giaccio, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the police officers' pursuit and ultimate stop of the defendant's vehicle was reasonable and justified in light of their confirmation of the information received in a radio transmission and the fact that the defendant proceeded to drive away upon their approach (see, People v. Mills, 198 A.D.2d 236; see also, People v. Landy, 59 N.Y.2d 369; People v. Mitchell, 143 A.D.2d 947).
The defendant's remaining contention does not warrant reversal ( see, People v. Portilla, 190 A.D.2d 827; People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).
Thompson, J.P., Joy, Altman and Florio, JJ., concur.
