GAINES – The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of Joseph Biaselli and Nicholas Boryszewski following a burglary in progress on April 1 at approximately 1:52 p.m. at an address in the Town of Gaines.

Deputies were alerted after the homeowner observed two males inside his residence via interior security cameras and called the Sheriff’s 911 Center. Deputies and investigators responded immediately and observed both individuals exiting the residence, at which time they were taken into custody without incident.

A backpack recovered at the scene contained property taken from the residence, including jewelry, loose change, lottery tickets, and a Bluetooth speaker. The victim later identified the items as his property.

The residence showed no visible signs of forced entry. A butter knife recovered from one individual is being retained as evidence of possible use in facilitating entry.

Both individuals were charged with Burglary in the Second Degree (PL 140.25) and Petit Larceny (PL 155.25).

Biaselli was arraigned and remanded on $1,500 cash or $2,500 bond. Boryszewski was remanded pending County Court arraignment due to prior criminal history and is currently on parole for Burglary 2nd.
