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.
