Monroe County, NY – More than 100 vehicles were entered overnight across neighborhoods in Perinton and Penfield, and deputies now confirm that five suspects are in custody following a morning pursuit and large-scale investigation.

According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), deputies and Fairport Police first received numerous calls early this morning regarding larcenies from vehicles. While investigating, deputies spotted a suspect vehicle traveling on Macedon Center Road in Perinton. A pursuit followed and ended near Green Ridge Road and Green Valley Road.

MCSO said drone units and K9 teams assisted in locating and detaining the suspects. As of the latest update, investigators are interviewing all five individuals. Authorities said there is no indication of additional suspects outstanding.

Deputies are currently canvassing affected neighborhoods and documenting reports. According to MCSO, the largest number of vehicle entries appears to be concentrated in northern Perinton and southern Penfield, particularly near Whitney Road and Route 441.

Officials estimate that more than 100 vehicles were involved, noting it will take “an extended period of time” to process all evidence and victim reports. While deputies say there is no known ongoing threat to public safety, they are urging residents to call 911 with any information or home surveillance footage showing suspicious activity from last night.

The investigation remains active, and more details will be released once confirmed. Deputies also reminded residents to remove valuables from vehicles and ensure they are locked overnight.
