Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) - It's a crime we are hearing and seeing far too often; stolen cars.
FILE - Police said a stolen vehicle crashed on Linden Street in Rochester, Sunday, June 9, 2024, ending a chase that began on the New York State Thruway in Farmington. "It’s a terrible feeling, and that motivates us to apprehend these people," Monroe County Investigator James Coco said.
He borrowed a vehicle from family and friends to drive to work, and also got rides while those repairs were being made."Depending on the day, sometimes more, sometimes less.," he said. With MCSO's stolen vehicle task force created two years ago, Coco says 5-7 stolen vehicles are recovered in a day."We’ve been hugely successful with the manpower we bring to bring these kids to justice, with car chases,"
said Coco. "We have enough manpower to flood the areas and take people into custody and put them into detention,"
