A 44-year-old Rochester man has been charged with burglary after being caught in the act.
The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office says Sam Sides Jr. entered a home on Gillis Road in Victor. He didn’t realize someone was home. She hid in a bathroom and called 911.
Deputies arrived to find Sides loading the victim’s property into his vehicle. He fled, with deputies in pursuit. Sides crashed on Ayrault Road in Perinton after hitting two other cars and crashing in front of Fairport High School.
Monroe County deputies investigated the crash and wrote several tickets. Sides was arrested for the burglary by the Ontario County deputies. They learned another man may have been involved in the burglary and a tip led them to search the Green Road area of Farmington. So far, no additional suspect has been located.
Sides is being held without bail because of two prior felony convictions.
