Press release
The LeRoy Police Department arrested a 47 year old parolee who is thought to be responsible for the rash of larcenies from vehicles over the past few months. Andrew L. Kosiorek of 61 Myrtle Street LeRoy was arrested last night (7/3/2019) at about 11:00 pm after he was seen by an alert citizen allegedly prowling the North Street area of the village, attempting to enter numerous vehicles and actually entering at least two vehicles stealing items from within.
The alert citizen called 9-1-1 and directed the responding patrols to an area of South Street where Kosiorek had walked. Kosiorek was detained and then arrested by the patrols and allegedly found in possession of property recently stolen from vehicles on Church Street and North Street. Kosiorek was also allegedly found to be in possession of a crack cocaine pipe. Based on other information gathered throughout this investigation, the LeRoy Police Department believes that Kosiorek is the person responsible for the rash of Larcenies which has been steadily increasing since 5/4/2019.
Kosiorek is charged with two counts of misdemeanor Criminal Possession of Stolen Property, three counts of Misdemeanor Attempted Petit Larceny and one count of misdemeanor Criminal Possession of Controlled Substance for the crack pipe.
Kosiorek was arraigned before the Hon. D. Sehm of the LeRoy Town Court and committed to the Genesee County Jail in lieu of $3,500 cash bail.
The LeRoy Police Department wishes to thank the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department, the New York State Police and the Citizens of LeRoy who constantly partner with the LeRoy Police Department to help add extra eyes and ears to help protect our community.
