Burglary at Dunkin Donuts
Tioga County Sheriff’s Department responded to a report of a burglary around 3:30 am on January 23 at the Dunkin Donuts on Route 434 in Apalachin. Law enforcement and K-9 units were seen searching around the property of Dunkin Donuts for several hours. The business re-opened early that afternoon. The search for suspects in the burglary is ongoing, and the suspects may also be involved in burglaries from across several area counties. Members of the Tioga County Sheriff’s Office attended a multi-agency meeting on January 25 hosted by Horseheads Police Department. Law enforcement officials from Broome, Tioga,
Chemung, Tompkins and New York State Police were in attendance. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss over a dozen commercial burglary cases from the various jurisdictions committed over the last two weeks. It is believed that the burglaries are related and were committed by the same individuals. The various agencies are still actively investigating these burglaries. Arrests are anticipated. Anyone with information relating to any of these burglaries is asked to contact the Tioga County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Division at 607-687-1010, their respective Sheriff’s Office, or the New York State Police.

Verizon Main Phone Cable Cut
On Wednesday morning January 25, phone service for several hundred customers in the Town of Owego, east of Hiawatha Bridge in Apalachin, including the Town Hall and State Police was disrupted due to a main telephone trunk line being cut. Verizon estimated service could have been out until January 28, but due to the quick work of the Verizon line crew, service was restored around 2:15 pm on January 26.
Verizon replaced about 320 feet of cable along Route 434. The break happened Wednesday, January 25 early morning when the cable was cut by a "Todd Cable Construction" trencher digging to install 3500 feet of cable in the area for a undisclosed customer, according to a Todd Cable spokesman the phone line was improperly marked.
New York State Police were called to the scene.
