New York Construction Report
A 38-year-old Buffalo man received an indeterminate sentence of two to six years in prison for stealing construction materials from an apartment project in Buffalo, according to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office.
Acting DA Michael J. Keane said the man entered the construction site on Best Street at about 3:40 a.m. on Feb. 16, 2023.
A security monitoring system alerted Buffalo Police Department and officers located the man, who was in possession of two bags. He dropped the stolen property and ran, but was quickly apprehended by police. Police found pipes, circuit breakers, valves, copper, and other metal construction materials inside of the bags.
In July, the man was found guilty by a jury of one count of burglary in the third degree, and one count of grand larceny in the fourth degree.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Anthony F. Perna of the Narcotics/Intelligence Bureau and Assistant District Attorney Jia-Chir Chiu of the Felony Trials Bureau.
