On January 27, 2024 at 3:47 in the morning, Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Locust Lane in the Town of Perinton for a group of people breaking into cars. The first arriving deputy saw three males run from a carport and enter a waiting silver 2019 Ford Flex with New York State license plates. The deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver chose not to comply, instead speeding through a stop sign and striking a curb, which resulted in the vehicle becoming disabled. Four males fled from the vehicle and entered a residential backyard, causing damage to the fence in an attempt to escape. The deputy quickly detained a 15-year-old male while additional deputies set up a perimeter and located a 17-year-old male and detained him. The investigation revealed the vehicle involved in the accident had been reported stolen from a residence in the Town of Penfield.
The 17-year-old juvenile of Penfield is charged with:
- Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle in the Third Degree (Class A-Misdemeanor)
- Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree (Class A-Misdemeanor)
The 15-year-old juvenile of Greece is charged with:
- Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle in the Third Degree (Class A-Misdemeanor)
- Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree (Class A-Misdemeanor)
Deputies transported the juveniles to the Monroe County Children’s Detention Center to await arraignment.
UPDATE: Both juveniles were arraigned in Monroe County Family Court and released to the custody of their families.
The investigation is ongoing as we continue our efforts to identify the other two individuals involved in this case. If you have any information relevant to this incident, please call 911 or email mcsotips@monroecounty.gov.
