The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office ended up solving an Ontario County burglary when they pulled over two people who appeared to be casing a Riga home in a surveillance video.
Deputies were investigating a burglary on Chili Riga Center Road when a neighbor of the victim came forward with footage from his security system. It showed a strange car in his driveway and a man going to his door, but retreating when he saw the security cameras. Deputies were able to get the license plate and traced it to a parolee, Jonathan Eatmon of Rochester. Investigators followed the suspect vehicle into Ontario County, pulled it over, and arrested Eatmon and another man, former Parolee Devon Thomas.
In the car, they found property stolen from homes on Fishers Road in Ontario County. Both men are now in the Ontario County jail. Authorities believe both men are responsible for a string of burglaries in Monroe County but they haven’t been charged yet. The investigation is ongoing.
