The first piece of the spree that Westchester officials learned about occurred at a New Rochelle business on Main Street. The assailant entered the business and reportedly began spewing racial and gender-based slurs towards the store owner.

In the process of stealing an iPhone, an iPad, and money from the business, the assailant, "pushed the store owner to the ground and against merchandise, dragged her across the floor, and hit her in the head with a door, causing her a concussion, broken ribs, a spinal injury and multiple lacerations" according to Westchester County DA Rocah.

After this robbery, the assailant moved on to his next victims in the Woodland Avenue and Elm Street area of New Rochelle.

The next victims were an elderly couple just outside walking. According to Westchester County DA, Bagley stole $1,800 from the couple and continued on his spree to a home in Laurel Place.

Bagley entered the home which was occupied at the time. The homeowner reportedly was able to text a neighbor and get police to the house before Bagley was able to commit more crimes.
