Alert neighbor spots suspected early morning burglary in progress on Maple Street

By Howard B. Owens

UPDATED 10:08 a.m.; UPDATED 10:19 a.m.

Two men from Rochester were arrested Thursday morning in Batavia after a possible burglary was reported on Maple Street.

A Maple Street resident called Emergency Dispatch at 4:30 a.m. to report observing two men removing items from a neighbor's residence and loading items into a vehicle.

Batavia BP and Sheriff's deputies responded and the vehicle was located on Oak Street.

The vehicle allegedly contained items taken from the Maple Street residence.

Taken into custody were Eric P. Doleman, 41, no permanent address, and Frederick H. Robidoux Jr., 49, no permanent address.

The suspects appear to have targeted the apartment at 10 Maple St., Batavia, because they knew the resident, Edward R. Freida, is being held in Genesee County jail without bail on drug and weapon charges.

Both men where charged with burglary, 2nd.

Doleman was also arrested Dec. 23 following a report of a car being broken into an items being stolen in the Kmart parking lot. Deputies and city PD responded to the call and reportedly stopped Doleman's car on Park Road. He was issued an appearance ticket for misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief and petit larceny.

There was another smash-and-grab on a car in the Tops parking lot that day, and there have been similar crimes committed in the parking lots of area hotels. There is some suspicion that Doleman may have been involved in those cases, too, according to Chief Deputy Jerome Brewster, though no charges have been filed.

While police list Doleman as having no permenant address, he does appear to have ties to Batavia and was a resident, according to a source, of Thorpe Street a year ago before being evicted "because of excessive police calls," the source said.

Doleman may also yet be charged with criminal possession of a weapon, Brewster said.

Doleman and Robidoux were jailed without bail.

In every community all over the world, "some crime is being committed around here," and it's been that way since Cain and Abel.

When it comes to crime, there are a lot less safe places to live, not just in the world, but in Western New York.

Punishment for these crimes are not enough. Which is why they are able to repeatedly do it. This county needs to start making examples. Public punishments should make a come back.

Matt, are you kidding me? If we actually punished real criminals, there wouldn't be enough room for the non violent drug offenders in the prisons! Oh the horror that would cause!

I have found that it doesn't matter where one lives as far as crime goes. When I lived in the city of Rochester, my house was broken into multiple times. Only one of my neighbors came forward to tell the police what he had seen. The other neighbors all claimed not to have heard the 50 footprints being pounded into my door. I installed my doors and they were just about kick-proof. It would've been easier for them to go through the wall next to the door or through a window.

When I moved to East Bethany, my 4-wheeler and the trailer it was on were stolen right from my driveway in broad daylight (happened while I was at work on day shift). I have found footprints in the mud and snow around my truck that didn't match any of my footwear for tread pattern or size. Luckily the neighbors have dogs that bark at almost anything. I live alone so there shouldn't be any other footprints unless I have company..wink wink.

That is what is great about small communities. It seems to me if any outsiders come to town and commit a crime, they are apprehended. Now I am sure there are some that may get away. However current trend seems to be a very vigilent community when it comes to strangers.
