According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert M. Maciol, a sixteen-year-old Boonville teen was arrested after a series of vehicles were stolen in the Boonville area this morning around 8:00 AM.

A Town of Boonville dump truck was stolen from DPW property on State Route 12 and was driven to Sudal Hill Road where it became disabled. A second truck was then stolen from a nearby property on Sudal Hill Road and driven to Potato Hill Road where it was left and a third truck was then stolen. That truck was involved in a property damage motor vehicle crash before being stopped by an assisting New York State Police unit. Due to the suspect's age, the Oneida County Sheriff's Office Juvenile Aid Unit was called in to take over the investigation.

The juvenile, whose name is withheld due to age, was charged with (2) counts of Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the third degree, both class D Felonies, and (1) count of Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the fourth degree, a class E Felony.

The juvenile was arraigned at Oneida County Centralized Arraignment Proceedings/CAP Court and was released to a parent with a scheduled appearance in Oneida County Court Youth Part on 5/4/2026.
