Vehicle rifling: A growing problem police attribute to drugs
OXFORD – Reports of missing items from unlocked cars have been cropping up throughout the county, especially along the Route 12 corridor. On Tuesday, an Oxford resident was arrested for allegedly taking items from a car as well as taking the car itself.
Jennifer E. Hafner (also known as, Jennifer E. Langer), 34, Oxford, was arrested for third degree grand larceny, a class D felony; fourth degree grand larceny, a class E felony; and endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor. Langer allegedly stole a car parked in the Village of Oxford and, along with a 13-year-old female pasanger, drove to the Norwich area.
An off-duty Chenango County dispatcher noticed the vehicle in question pulling into the Wal-Mart parking lot and alerted the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office and the Oxford Police Department. Langer was subsequently located within the store by a sheriff’s deputy where she was taken into custody and later turned over to the Oxford Police Department.
Langer also allegedly stole credit cards from within the vehicle. It was discovered a warrant for her arrest for an unrelated larceny charge already existed. She was arraigned in the Village of Oxford Court and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $5,000 cash bail to re-appear in court at a later date.
“Most of the car larcenies in our area are drug related,” said Village of Oxford Police Chief Rich Nolan, following the arrest. “These larcenies stem from Broome County into Chenango County. We are asking for all residents to remove their keys from their vehicles, as certain subjects are even finding the hidden keys.” Nolan also cautioned vehicle owners to make sure all of their valuables left within the car are placed somewhere out of sight, such as in the trunk.
In a separate matter, at the exact time the Sheriff’s Office and the Village of Oxford Police were investigating the missing vehicle from Oxford, the village police were also arresting Nicholas S. Simonds, 27, of Oxford. Following an investigation conducted by the village police department and the Chenango County Probation Department, Simonds was charged with seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession of a hypodermic instrument, both class A misdemeanors.
It is alleged that Simonds was found to be in possession of Xanax, morphine, 24 hypodermic syringes and other drug paraphernalia during a house check conducted by probation officers. Other charges may be brought against him due to the amount of morphine found. He was arraigned in the Village of Oxford Court and remanded to jail in lieu of $2,000 cash bail or $4,000 property bond. He will re-appear in court at a later date.
