Three men arrested on theft charges in Lockport

LOCKPORT, NY — Three Buffalo men were arrested early Monday morning after a caller reported suspicious activity in a residential neighborhood.

The Niagara County Sheriff’s Office and New York State Police were dispatched to the 600 block of Birchwood Drive at 2:05 a.m. on Dec. 23.

A 9-1-1 caller reported two people trying to get into vehicles by trying door handles and provided a suspect vehicle description and plate number.

A plainclothes sheriff’s office investigator located the vehicle and observed three males going from driveway to driveway as they proceeded through the neighborhoods.

Marked units arrived and initiated a traffic stop at Rebecca Road and Bordino Drive.

Roland D. Reddick, 20, of Buffalo, Amarion D. Sharp, 20, of Buffalo, and Lamont L. Lewis, 22, of Buffalo, were arrested after a lengthy investigation.

They are charged with fourth-degree grand larceny, a felony, petit larceny, a misdemeanor, and fifth-degree conspiracy, a misdemeanor.

Reddick and Lewis were released on appearance tickets due to bail reform legislation.

Sharp, who was released last week for a similar arrest in the town of Hamburg, was held for centralized arraignment.

Multiple items of stolen property were recovered from the vehicle and it was impounded.

Residents in the Woodlands or surrounding neighborhoods are asked to call the sheriff’s office at 716-438-3393 to identify any missing property from their vehicles.
