CAZENOVIA — In the early hours of Saturday, Dec. 16, several unlocked vehicles were ransacked in the Village of Cazenovia and numerous items were taken.
According to Michael Hayes, chief of the Cazenovia Police Department, the incidents occurred sometime between midnight and 6 a.m.
The chief said there were additional reports of criminal trespass and larceny in Cazenovia that were outside the village and therefore outside the jurisdiction of the Cazenovia Police Department.
“I would ask, as I have numerous times before, for residents to lock [their] vehicles,” Hayes added. “These perpetrators are looking for easy targets. Generally, they do not break into a vehicle because that now raises the charge from a misdemeanor to a felony.”
