Cops say burglar fled and left deaf accomplices behind - The Mercury News: Pottstown, PA and The Tri County areas of Montgomery, Berks and Chester Counties (pottsmerc.com)
Police say a Honey Brook man who heard suspicious noises while burglarizing an auto shop in London Grove left his two deaf accomplices behind and fled.
The deaf men were discovered by police inside the shop and implicated Timothy Michael Adams, 26, of the first block of Egen Circle, as the man who ran away, police said.
Adams was arrested June 30 and charged with burglary and related charges, according to police. His case is pending.
According to a report by state police in Avondale, they responded to a report of a burglary in progress Aug. 22, 2008, at Ginn's Motor Shop. The victim, Veron Allee Ginn II, told police he had interrupted a burglary at his business and the robbers ran off. A vehicle registered to Christopher Hagerty was found parked next to an open bay door.
The robbers had forced open the bay door by cutting a chain and padlock. Inside the car were various pieces of stolen automotive parts and scrap metal.
When police searched the area, they found Hagerty and Christopher Finnerfrock, both deaf, hiding along a wooded fenceline on the property. Finnerfrock, who is Adams' cousin, implicated Hagerty and Adams in the failed burglary, according to police reports.
Finnerfrock, 29, of the 8800 block of Gap Newport Pike, Avondale, pleaded guilty Jan. 20 to burglary. He is facing a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. He is awaiting sentencing.
Hagerty, 28, of the 100 block of Glen Avenue in West Chester, pleaded guilty to one count of burglary and is awaiting sentencing.
Adams was in court May 1 on other charges for an incident that occurred two months before the alleged auto shop burglary. On June 29, 2008, West Goshen police received a call from Alyssa Luzi, of the 100 block of Pennsylvania Avenue. Luzi said she had borrowed her father's car before she and her boyfriend, Adams, went to bed about midnight. But at 1:30 a.m., she woke up and found her boyfriend and the car missing.
While police were taking her statement, Luzi received a call from her mother, who said the missing car was on Fourth Avenue in Coatesville.
Later that day, police received a call from Ryan Sager, who also lives in the residence on Pennsylvania Avenue. He found a receipt in the recovered car for items purchased from a Wal-Mart in Parkesburg during the time the car was missing. His Wal-Mart credit card was missing, and a call to Wal-Mart revealed that items totalling $633 were charged on his card that day.
Adams pleaded guilty Oct. 24 to theft by unlawful taking and unauthorized use of an automobile.
He was sentenced May 1 to three years of probation on the first charge and one year of consecutive probation for the second charge. He must also pay $633 restitution to Sager, submit to a drug and alcohol evaluation, and follow all of its recommendations.
