Yates Sheriff investigates burglaries

DUNDEE—The Yates County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a string of overnight burglaries in three Dundee businesses Wednesday, Oct. 2. These burglaries were discovered by the business owners as they opened their shops the morning of Thursday, Oct. 3. Sheriff Ron Spike said the investigation is still ongoing throughout the county. Spike said approximately $2,000 was taken from all three businesses from safes along with several New York State inspection stickers. The sheriff did not disclose the businesses by name that were burglarized.
