Sheriff’s chief detective warns property owners as recent arrests spotlight woodlot thefts. Albert Cunningham stopped two men cutting a tree behind his Batavia home on November seven, while Det. David Blaylock pursued a 17-year-old and an adult in separate incidents. Donald C. Radloff was charged with stealing eight to ten trees from land off Newtonsville Road, linked to a Sept. seven sighting reported by a prospective buyer. Investigators urge nearby watchers, especially absentee owners, to report suspicious activity and protect woodlots amid rising firewood demand.
