Since the beginning of October, several burglaries were reported to the Madison County\u00a0Sheriff\u2019s Office and the New York State Police.

Several items were taken from the residences including an antique rifle, flat screen TV, computers, gaming systems, DVD\u2019s, jewelry and cash.<\/p>\n

\"Mayer<\/a>As a result of the string of burglaries, members of the Sheriff\u2019s Criminal\u00a0Investigations Division conducted a concentrated investigation, which included targeted surveillance in the area.<\/p>\n

During the morning hours of Oct. 28 an undercover Sheriff\u2019s Investigator observed a vehicle matching the description that had been provided by victims as possibly used in the commission of these burglaries in the driveway of a residence on Oxbow Road in the Town of Fenner. One female was observed in the passenger seat of the vehicle by the Investigator. A male subject ran from behind the residence and entered the driver\u2019s seat of vehicle, then drove the vehicle around the investigator\u2019s vehicle and fled northbound on Oxbow Road.<\/p>\n

The Investigator pursued the vehicle and stopped the Keith Garrison vehicle about three-quarter miles from the residence.<\/p>\n

The male and female were apprehended by the Investigator and taken into custody.<\/p>\n

The male driver was identified as Keith R. Garrison, 33, of Cazenovia and the female passenger identified as Brittaney J. Mayer, 25, of Remsen.<\/p>\n

The residence was then searched by members of the Sheriff\u2019s Office and it was discovered that the home had been burglarized. The suspect vehicle was also searched later, after Investigators secured a search warrant.<\/p>\n

Garrison and Mayer were both charged with second-degree Burglary, a class C Felony,\u00a0Possession of Burglar\u2019s Tools, a class A Misdemeanor and fourth-degree Criminal Mischief, a class A Misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Mayer and Garrison were both arraigned before a Town of Lincoln Judge. Mayer was remanded to the Madison County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond and Garrison was remanded to the Madison County Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Both Garrsion and Mayer are still facing other charges for other burglaries that occurred in the Town of Fenner.<\/p>\n

Sheriff\u2019s Investigators were assisted by members of the NY State Police and Canastota Police Department.<\/p>\n

Investigators state that both suspects have been generally cooperative since their arrests.<\/p>\n

Investigators are currently attempting to locate and recover the stolen property.<\/p>\n

Madison County Sheriff Allen Riley praised the collaborative and quick efforts of\u00a0Investigators, and is seeking the public\u2019s vigilance to this issue and to be attentive to securing homes and businesses, at all times, including the use of door and window locks, alarm systems activated (if installed), securing of valuables in a locked safe or off premise in a safety deposit box at your local financial institution.<\/p>\n
