Bodycam Video Helps Identify Youngsville Burglars | News, Sports, Work

Warrants have been issued for two Jamestown residents accused of stealing an electric bicycle from a garage in Youngsville.

Aaron Nazario, 39, and Sara E. Lundsten, 42, were charged Friday in the Oct. 20 burglary in Youngsville.

Nazario is charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit theft and criminal trespass to a building, all felonies, as well as theft by unlawful taking and loitering and loitering at night, both felonies.

Lundsten is charged with conspiracy to commit burglary, a felony, and loitering and loitering at night, a felony.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Warren County Court by the Youngsville Police Department, Nazario allegedly stole an electric bicycle valued at $1,200 from a garage in Youngsville. The garage was left open overnight, according to the affidavit.

An area resident was able to provide Ring Doorbell footage of a man and woman walking westbound on East Main Street, Youngsville, around 4:27 a.m. on Oct. 20. The man shined his flashlight in the direction of the garage and noticed that it was open. Additional video from the Country Fair store in Youngsville showed a Subaru Forester with New York registration that matched photos and video from the scene of the theft, while the two people at the Country Fair matched those seen on the Ring camera footage.

The arresting officer said Nazario met the woman at the Country Fair, and cameras allegedly showed Nazario taking a flashlight from the Subaru and checking it. That flashlight, the officer said, was later seen in the video Nazario used to see the open garage.

“Nazario is the only person seen in the garage driveway during this time,” the affidavit reads. “The video shows Nazario riding his bike down the driveway and then riding east on East Main Street. Then Subaru follows.”

The charges against Lundsten were brought because she is allegedly the registered owner of the Subaru. Video from the Ring’s doorbell camera allegedly shows Lundsten and Nazario walking down East Main Street together at 4:27 a.m. and then again at 4:36 a.m. when Nazario allegedly got out of the car and walked up the driveway. The Country Fair footage at 3 a.m. also allegedly shows them together.
