Last week, Saratoga Springs police received four reports of burglaries to residences and multiple larcenies from parked vehicles in the area around Horizon Drive, Vista Drive and Laura Lane off of Crescent Avenue, according to police reports.
Darryl Mount, 19, of Malta, was arrested and charged with three counts of burglary in the second degree, a class C felony, and one count of criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, a class A misdemeanor, according to police reports.
Police allege that Mount entered three occupied homes in the area during the overnight hours and stole several small items.
