Masked man enters Wellsville home- Police, "this isn't the world we all lived in 20 years ago"
Wellsville Police arrested Zackery M. Tesson, age 31 of
Wellsville, following an early morning break-in at a Grover Street residence.
At 3:52 a.m. Wellsville Police were dispatched to a home where Tesson allegedly
entered wearing a black ski mask and carrying a backpack full of tools and
knives. He was confronted by the two residents after he entered their
bedroom. One woman struggled with the suspect to bring him down. Tesson was taken into custody
by Wellsville Police while attempting to flee the residence on foot. Tesson was charged with Burglary 2nd (Class C
Felony) and Possession of Burglar Tools. He was processed and arraigned before
Associate Wellsville Village Justice Walsh.
Tesson was committed to the Allegany County Jail on $2,500.00 cash bail
or $5,000.00 property bond. He is due back in Wellsville Village Court this
afternoon. Wellsville Police are asking
local residents to check their properties for any missing items from their
property, as they recovered items that did not belong to the homeowners where
the break-in took place. Contact the
Wellsville Police Department at (585) 593-5600 to file a report. Wellsville Police Lt. Josh Kear says "it's a good idea to take every precaution...this isn't the world we all lived in twenty years ago."
