Cicero (WSYR-TV) - Cicero police are asking you to be On the Lookout for thieves who are smashing car windows to get at your stuff.  While thefts from unlocked cars are common, this is the first time in a long time Cicero police have seen this many cars damaged within a few blocks of each other.

First, Cicero police want to alert neighbors about thefts from unlocked cars over the weekend, in areas west of Route 11 on Crabtree Lane and Route 31.  This is an easy one to prevent: Don't leave valuables in your car, and lock up at night.

The smash-and-grab thefts all happened over the weekend in store parking lots in the East Circle Drive area, including Target, Wal-Mart, Buffalo Wild Wings, and the Coppertop Tavern – and the suspects were Caught on Tape.

One surveillance video shows two men in a white car, cruising into the Target store parking lot in Cicero Saturday night.  Police say they were there to do some shopping -- but not inside the store. Instead, they did some window shopping in the parking lot.

“In watching this Target store video, you can see how they looked at 30 different cars before they picked one to break into. I would assume they were looking to see what was inside.  They don't want to draw attention and smash windows when they don't see an item they may want,” says Cicero Police Investigator James Meyers.

“This was a big night. They hit a lot of cars, a lot of merchandise and a lot of people's property from these cars,” Meyers says.

Police believe the getaway car may be a 2000 to 2006 model Buick Century, and it’s missing hubcaps.

Police are unable to make out the license plate from the video.

If you have any information to solve this case, you're asked to call Meyers at 699-3677, ext. 18.

Solvay (WSYR-TV) - Solvay Police are searching for a man who was caught on tape stealing a bottle of vodka from a liquor store on Charles Avenue.

The while male stole the vodka on August 22 at about 7:45 p.m. He is described as about 6-feet tall, 180 pounds, and he drove away in a brown Buick station wagon.

Solvay Police are asking for your help to catch this man. If you have information they would like you to call 468-2510 or leave your tip online.

Lysander (WSYR-TV) - State Police say one man ripped off an office supervisor and the other suspect took advantage of a woman he met on the internet.

Toriano King has an extensive criminal past that includes assault, harassment and drug charges. According to State Police, a temporary employment agency placed him in an office in Van Buren, where he ripped off his supervisor.

When the supervisor wasn't around, King allegedly went into her purse and stole a check from the middle of her checkbook.

Norm Ashbarry, State Police Warrant Squad investigator, says it’s a common practice - not only with checks, but also with credit cards.  "If a wallet is stolen, sometimes one credit card from the middle of several is taken, so when the wallet is recovered the person doesn't notice it right away.”

Police say after King forged a $300 check, he disappeared.  He's lived on West Onondaga, Gifford and Sheridan Streets in Syracuse, and he has connections in Troy.   He's 5’ 9” and weighs 200 pounds and also goes by the name Jefferson Tito.

State Police are also on the lookout for Matthew Gallup. Police say he met his victim on the internet, got an invitation to her home, and helped himself to her car and her credit card.

Surveillance video at a Mobil gas station on James Street shows one of the stops he made where he allegedly used the card.

”We have no reason to believe he's not living in Syracuse.  He bounces around a lot and goes from friend to friend and steals from friends and acquaintances,” says Ashbarry.

Matthew Gallup's last known address was James Street in Syracuse. He's 5’ 8” and about 225 pounds. He has a tattoo on his left wrist that says 'Lil Matt'.

If you can help police catch these two wanted suspects, call the Fugitive Task Force tip line at 473-7625.

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) – This Fugitive of the Week is a young man who had been living in the City of Syracuse, and is known to spend a lot of time in Solvay. 

He's now wanted by both Syracuse and Solvay police on a number of charges, including harassment and menacing. 

Syracuse police are asking you to be On The Lookout for 19-year-old Timothy Clapper, who has five warrants out for his arrest.

Police say he's been destructive, and made threats three times in Syracuse, and twice in Solvay.

Syracuse Police Dept. Warrant Squad Sgt. John Savage says Clapper’s offenses range “from threatening people to hitting people with a hammer and a screwdriver to breaking windows out of vehicles of relatives and ex-girlfriends.”

Clapper was living on Kincaid Avenue, off Avery Avenue, near the Solvay border in July.  The family moved out, and told police they haven't seen or heard from him.  His friends have given police the same story.

“No doubt, he has knowledge that police have been looking for him, not only in Solvay, but in the City of Syracuse.  My guess is he has hunkered down a bit, not wanting to be found,” says Savage.

Timothy Clapper is 5’11” and weighs 142 pounds. He has hazel eyes and brown hair.

Police are pretty confident Clapper has not skipped town, so if you know where he may be, give the Warrant Squad a call at 442-5230. All calls will remain confidential.

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - Two more people allegedly involved in the caught on tape beating of an employee at a Syracuse pawn shop have been arrested. A 17-year-old and 15-year-old are charged with assault and robbery.

Syracuse Police say 17-year-old Jacorey Richardson of Midland Avenue is facing assault and robbery charges. Police say he punched the 18-year-old attendant at New York Valuables on Wolf Street Friday.

A 15-year-old is charged with robbery. His name was not released due to his age.

A 14-year-old boy turned himself in to police Wednesday, confessing to taking part in the beating of the employee.

A fourth suspect is still being sought by Syracuse Police.

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - A 14-year-old boy has turned himself in to police Wednesday, confessing to taking part in the beating of an employee at a Syracuse pawn shop during a robbery last week.

The teen was one of four suspects who beat an 18-year-old attendant at New York Valuables on Wolf Street Friday before running off with some cash and merchandise, according to police.

Police say the teen's family members recognized him immediately from store surveillance video we aired on our station. They then convinced the boy to turn himself in.

Investigators now hope the three others who took part in this robbery will follow suit. They say they have good information about who these boys might be, and are especially eager to track them down, given the violent nature of this crime.

“This was really a violent attack,” says Syracuse Police Sgt. Tom Connellan. “This was an unprovoked attack on the store clerk who was in there doing his job and the suspects came in, beat him to the ground, hit him over the head and body with a stool and kicked and stomped him while he was on the ground, and then stole money and cell phones out of the store.”

Syracuse police say the three remaining suspects are also believed to be in their teens.

Police would not release the 14-year-old's name because he is a minor. They say he is being held at the Hillbrook Detention Center.

Syracuse, New York (WSYR-TV) - A group of men attacked a north side pawn shop attendant and stole seven cell phones and some cash Friday, according to police.

Syracuse police say an 18-year-old employee of New York Valuables on Wolf Street came out from behind the counter to help the four men who walked into the store, but after talking to the men for several minutes, one punched him in the face.

The suspects continued to kick the employee and hit him at least twice with a wooden stool.

Syracuse Police say the teen is still badly bruised after the robbery on Friday. They say he is going to recover, but he is quite shaken after what happened.

John Bellavia, the owner of New York Valuables, thinks that the suspects were the same group who recently stole money from him. “We didn't put this store here so that people take advantage of us. They definitely shouldn't have done that,” Bellavia said.

The Syracuse Police Department is hopeful that the security camera footage will help them catch the suspects. “With these new pictures we're hopeful we'll be able to capture these guys and charge them not only with this crime, but maybe we can get them charged with the first crime, where they came in and stole some money,” Sergeant Tom Connellan said.

If you have any information about the incident, call Syracuse police at 442-5222.

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - Neighbors on Syracuse's North Side may be able to help police find the Fugitive of the Week who is accused of ignoring a court order to stay away from his ex-girlfriend, again.

He gave a North Side address to his probation officer, but he’s not there. Police say it's important they find him, now that new arrest warrants have been issued. 

Earlier this year, Matthew Morris was convicted of criminal contempt for violating an order of protection.  He was sentenced to three years probation and now he's in trouble again. “He's currently wanted by Onondaga County for a probation violation, and wanted by city police on a criminal contempt warrant as well,” said Chris Amoia from the Fugitive Task Force.

The Fugitive Task Force has been checking addresses and hangouts on Syracuse's North Side, with no leads on where Morris may be living. “I know detectives looked for him last week and they just missed him.  I'm sure he doesn't have too many options at this point, where he will be hard to find.”

Matthew Morris is 24-years-old, he's 5’ 11” and weighs around 155 pounds.
 
If you have any information about his whereabouts, give the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force a call at 473-7625. All calls will remain confidential.

If caught, it's been noted that the city court judge handling this case will not set bail for Morris.

Oswego (WSYR-TV) - NewsChannel 9 is profiling last week's fugitive again, after folks across Central New York believe they have spotted the woman deputy marshals nicknamed ‘The Ghost.’

Keishawna Barksdale spent time in federal prison for dealing heroin, and after she skipped out on a court hearing, a judge has issued a warrant for her arrest.

Authorities now have a newer, better photograph of her, and thanks to your phone calls, new information on the unlikely place she had been hiding out.

If you live in Oswego, and you think you've seen Barksdale, you're not alone.  After we profiled her as the Fugitive of the Week, tips from our viewers placed her in the Port City.

The Fugitive Task Force says one caller gave a very specific location. Task force members suited up and headed north. NewsChannel 9 was with team members headed north.

The team knocked on her door many times, but no one answered. After a quick canvass of the neighborhood and call to the landlord, the Fugitive Task Force learned Barksdale was there, but had taken off. “The subject we were looking for was living her, until Friday. They were expected to move out on Friday, and they did.  She definitely was here, we made a positive ID.”

The Fugitive Task Force says the 'ghost' is gone again, but hope the new photo of her will help folks recognize her.

If you’ve seen Barksdale, give the Fugitive Task Force a call at 473-7625.

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) – She was the only heroin dealer who got away after a 2006 sting. She was nicknamed the ghost, but tips eventually led to her arrest.

The Fugitive Task Force is hoping to have the same type of success now that she has disappeared again.

Keishawna Barksdale spent 21 months in federal prison after being arrested and sentenced for her part in a heroin ring. She’s back on the wanted list for running from authorities.

After being placed on supervised release, she started using narcotics. She was brought into a hearing in federal court to discuss her problems, and see that she got help.

The hearing was just about to get underway inside the federal building, when Barksdale told her attorney she needed to step outside for a few minutes to smoke a cigarette.  The hearing never took place, because Barksdale, took off.

The judge has now issued a warrant for her arrest. “What the courts are trying to do is get her into a rehab program.  Miss Barksdale may think it's worse than it really is,” said Joe Cicarelli from the Fugitive Task Force.

The task force says they are more than happy to work things out with Barksdale.

Barksdale is 5’ 7” and weighs 195 pounds. On her hand is a tattoo of a dog print and the words, “Brooklyn's Finest.” You can give the Fugitive Task Force a call at 473-7625.
