MANSA was the driver of the getaway vehicle during the September 4, 2010 armed robbery of the Greenview Pharmacy. MANSA's co-conspirator, John Pastore, was arrested by Greenwich Police Detectives on September 28, 2010.
Pastore entered the pharmacy at approximately 1624 hours on September 4, 2010. He threatened to harm two pharmacists with a large kitchen style knife if they did not give him prescription narcotics. Pastore was given the narcotics and was attempting to leave the pharmacy when he was confronted by a Good Samaritan and a physical struggle ensued.
Pastore fled the store without any proceeds and entered the awaiting getaway vehicle operated by MANSA.
MANSA was also arrested by warrant for obtaining prescription narcotics using a forged prescription.
MANSA was released after posting the $110,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Stamford on January 17, 2012.
