Oakfield teenager accused of breaking into Yellow Goose store

By Howard B. Owens

A teenager from Oakfield was arrested last night on a felony charge of burglary for allegedly breaking into the Yellow Goose store in town at about 2:16 a.m.

A 14-year-old companion was also taken into custody.

An anonymous caller tipped the Genesee County Sheriff's Office to the alleged crime in progress. When officers arrived on scene they allegedly found the two youths exiting the store.

The investigation is ongoing as to whether another young male was involved in the incident.

The investigation was conducted by Deputy Howard Carlson with assistance from Sgt. Brian Frieday, Deputy Kevin McCarthy, Deputy Ron Medes, Investigator Timothy Weis, Juvenile Officer John Dehm and members of the State Police.

at 2:16am I'm snoozing away while all this activity is taking place. Just wonder if possible, did someone sneek out of the house or are they allowed to be out this late/early in the morning?

I with you Laura, did they sneak or are they allowed. I have a 16 year old and he isn't allowed to be out that late. I am sure that if he did sneak his father would have something to say about it along with me.

I would Imagine they snuck out of the house, just as they snuck into the store. Good thing for the alert "anonymous caller." Good job. Get them while they are young and maybe it will deter a life of crime in the future.
