Arrests made in car thefts

Three juvenile males and two teenage women have been charged for stealing from unlocked cars and for stealing cars that were unlocked with the keys inside.
The thefts occurred over the past week, according to a release from Guilderland Police who worked the case with Bethlehem Police.

The arrests were made after police got a search warrant for a Guilderland home. Some of the stolen property was recovered. All of the stolen vehicles were previously recovered in Guilderland.

The juvenile males, whose names are not being released because they are younger than 18, were each charged with third-degree grand larceny and will appear in Albany County Family Court.

The two teenage women — Ariana DiPardo-Davis, 19, and Abigail Eaton, 18 — both live at the same Western Avenue address in Guilderland; each were charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
