On January 11, 2018 Troopers arrested Matthew T. Stewart,
age 45, of Springwater, N.Y, for Burglary, 2nd degree, a class “C” felony. Stewart was arrested subsequent to an
investigation in which a North Hornell resident reported that on two separate
occasions, she noticed jewelry had been stolen from her residence. During the course of the investigation, it
was determined that Stewart was working in an adjoining residence for a
flooring company based in western Steuben County, and during the course of that
employment, he allegedly entered the adjacent residence on two occasions and
stole jewelry. Stewart was arraigned in
the town of Hornellsville court and was remanded to the Steuben County Jail
without bail. The investigation has
identified many additional victims, all of which may have also contracted with
the same flooring company. Anyone who
believes they may have been a victim is asked to call Investigators of the New
York State Police barracks at SP Wayland; phone 585-728-5007.
