According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, a Utica man has been arrested following a Larceny Investigation.

On December 3, 2025, Road Patrol Deputies were dispatched to Harlan Electric, located on River Road in the Town of Marcy, regarding a theft of wire. An investigation was commenced and due to the value of the wire, the case was ultimately turned over to a member of the Criminal Investigation Unit. As a result of the investigation Eugene Pike, age 38, of Utica, was arrested on September 23, 2026. Pike was charged with one count of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, a Class D Felony. Pike was then lodged in the Oneida County Correctional Facility to await CAP Court later that evening. Pike was seen in CAP Court and released on his own recognizance.
