Syracuse Police Dept. of pertinent information related to criminal or suspicious activity. The email address is tips@northsyracuseny.org. The TIP address should not be used to report crimes in progress or emergency situations; call 9-1-1 immediately in those situations.

Tuesday, July 10, 2012, two Village residents arriving home observed a young male being physically attacked by a couple other young males. The residents hollered at the attackers who fled, went to assist the youth being attacked and called for the North Syracuse Police. Another youth approached the citizens advising them he had also been attacked. When the police arrived in the area they spotted three supects ordered them to stop but they fled on foot and one on a bike. One of the suspect was taken into custody by the Officr while other area agency officers arrived to continue the search. A second suspect was taken into custody. Upon returning to the police department with the two suspects the third suspect turned himself in. The Victims ages, 15 and 17, were transported to the hospital and released after treatment. The suspects, ages 15, 16, qnd 18 ,were arraigned on charges of Robbery, assault, conspiracy, larceny, and the 18 year old was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child .
The timely reporting of this incident by the Village residents and quick response of the Village Police was another example of citizens working in partnership with the police that resulted in the suspects of this crime being identified and arrested.
The Citizen Eyes and Ears of the Community working with the Police Department were successful in apprehending the suspect of another crime in progress.
Saturday, July 7, 2012, shortly after midnight a citizen reported a suspicious vehicle in the Toll Road Senior Housing Apartments parking lot. North Syracuse Police Officers Linstruth and Quill arrived on the scene and determined one of the occupants of the suspicious vehicle entered an UNLOCKED vehicle and stole a couple items. During the course of the investigation it was determined the suspect had attempted to enter other vehicles but was unsuccessful because they were locked. The suspect, a 19 year old male from the Liverpool area was charged with pettit larceny.
As we mentioned a couple weeks ago in the Village Beat, there had been some incidents of unlocked vehicles being entered in the Village and surrounding area, and we encouraged everyone to lock their cars. In this instance it appears some people heeded the advice as only one vehicle is know to have been found unlocked by the suspect.
Again, the eyes and ears of the community, you, the citizen partners working with your North Syracuse Police Officers, were responsible for bringing this case to a successful conclusion with an arrest of the suspect and recovering the stolen property.
We appreciate your support and assistance.
