The search continues for a suspect who escaped state police custody in Putnam County.

Troopers say 29-year-old Julio C. Sosa escaped from their barracks in Brewster last Friday. The Bronx man was being held on a non-violent larceny charge.

He was last seen wearing all-black clothing and a hot pink coat.

Authorities say there is no threat to the public. Sosa has been on the run for six days.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to call state police at (845) 677-7300 or 911.
