UPDATE:

In connection with this morning’s investigation, MCSO can confirm we have five suspects in custody at this time; there is no indication there are more outstanding.

 Investigators are currently conducting interviews of the suspects. Deputies are currently in the involved neighborhoods collecting evidence and reports for vehicles that were entered by the suspects. The areas that appear to have the largest concentration of vehicles entered are neighborhoods in northern Perinton and southern Penfield that are located off Whitney Road and Route 441.

 We estimate there are over 100 vehicles involved at this point and it will take an extended period of time to process. We have no indication there is a threat to public safety but ask our community members to call 911 if they have any information or home camera footage that may show any suspicious activity from last night.  

 This investigation is still very active and we will provide more details as we are able to confirm them.

 We also want to remind our community at this time to please remove all valuables from your vehicle, and lock it when you park.
