On October 11th 2023, New Hartford Police Officers responded to a residence on Hingham Road for a reported grand larceny complaint. The victim reported that she had been visiting a friend’s house on Hingham Road and while inside, someone had stolen her purse containing credit cards and money from her vehicle. Two days later, on October 13th, 2023, The New Hartford Police were called to respond to the same residence for a second reported theft at this same location. In this second incident, the homeowner reported to police that while he was at work, someone had smashed the sliding glass door to the rear of his residence and made entry into his house. Approximately $10,000 worth of jewelry and electronics were stolen from within by the suspects.
Over the past 6 months, New Hartford Police Investigators followed up on numerous leads and executed multiple search warrants relative to this investigation. This work has led to the arrest of a 17-year-old juvenile for Burglary in The Second Degree, a class C Felony, for unlawful entry to the residence and theft of valuables from within.
The juvenile has been arraigned in The Oneida County Youth Part Court, where he was placed at this time on an ankle monitoring device in conjunction with other unrelated serious crimes that occurred in other jurisdictions. The investigation into this Burglary is ongoing and additional arrests are expected as a result.
