GUILDERLAND — After arresting a man who, police say, stole items from unlocked vehicles in town, the Guilderland Police are now looking for victims to retrieve their unclaimed property, according to Investigator Kristopher Scarano.

A release from the Guilderland Police describes events unfolding this way:

At about 3 a.m. on Jan. 10, police received a report of break-ins on Morgan Court. A “vigilant resident” reported an attempt to break into the vehicle in the resident’s driveway.

Officers then found Cory R. Shearing, 26, of Guilderland, in his vehicle on Jean Place. Shearing cooperated with the police, saying he’d entered numerous unlocked vehicles in the area and stolen various items.

He was charged with two counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, arraigned in Guilderland Town Court on Jan. 22, and released on his own recognisance.

Anyone who believes they may be a victim related to this case or is missing property, specifically in the areas of Rosedale Way, Gari Lane, Rose Avenue, Terry Avenue, Jean Place, and Morgan Court is encouraged to contact Investigator Christopher Oades at 518-356-1501.

The release concluded with this advice: Always lock your vehicle doors, even when parked in your driveway, and remove valuables from sight, including wallets, purses, cash, and electronics.
