LeRoy has seen an increase in crime over the past week or so, especially over the weekend. LeRoy Police Detective John Condidorio told WBTA's Dan Fischer that the burglaries — one car was stolen, several others were broken into — may be related. Police do have one suspect, described as a white male, slender, between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-9, wearing white shorts and a tee-shirt. Residents are advised to lock their homes and cars and report to the police any suspicious activity.

Could the problem with catching the person in Leroy be because the officers on duty decides when to call out the investigator in to gather the evidence ( today Aug 3, 08 )
an apt was broken into and several Hundred Dollars were stolen and the officer who responded would not call in an investigator in to gather finger prints or other evidence so I guess every one is unprotected when this officer is on duty
