The Syracuse Police Department has issued a warning to residents in the Strathmore neighborhood regarding a recent surge in car thefts, specifically targeting Kias and Hyundais. This is due to a security flaw that allows vehicles to be started without a key. To combat this issue, it is recommended that car owners invest in a steering wheel lock as a preventative measure. Furthermore, both automakers have developed anti-theft software that is free for owners to download. In the interest of community safety, it is important to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities immediately by calling 911 or the Syracuse Police Department at (315) 442-5222.

Upon the one-year anniversary of mobile sports wagering in New York State, Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the State has collected more than $709.2 million in taxes on such bets, a figure that leads the nation. An additional $200 million in licensing fees has also been collected, generating a total of more than $909 million in revenue, most of it to be used for education. "In just one year, New York has become a national leader in providing responsible entertainment for millions while bringing in record-shattering revenue for education, youth sports, and problem gambling prevention," Governor Hochul said. "I look forward to another year of delivering top tier mobile sports wagering experiences that generate revenue to enrich the lives of New Yorkers across the state." New York State Gaming Commission Chairman Brian O'Dwyer said, "Thanks to Governor Hochul's leadership and the enactment of smart and responsible gaming policies, New York continues to break revenue and wagering records. As we enter the second year of mobile sports wagering in New York State, the Gaming Commission will continue to ensure that such betting is conducted in a safe and responsible manner." New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports Commissioner Chinazo Cunningham said, "OASAS appreciates the ongoing partnership with the Gaming Commission to educate the public about responsible gambling and to provide resources for those who need them. The additional revenue generated will help to ensure that we have a robust system of programs and services to address the needs of individuals, families, and communities across the state." State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. said, "It has been a remarkable, record setting 1st year for Mobile Sports Betting in New York, with only 9 professional operators! I'm grateful to have joined others in the state, putting forth a product that New Yorkers deserved and I appreciate the significant benefits to our economy, in addition to educational, youth sports and addiction program funding. I look forward with a vision of optimism that through the professional efforts of the Hochul Administration, the Gaming Commission and my legislative colleagues, New Yorkers can expect their state to continue to provide the best mobile sports betting product, in this highly competitive arena, for many years to come." Assemblymember Gary Pretlow said, "Mobile sports betting generated $709 million in taxes in just one year for essential programs such as Education, Youth Sports, and Problem Gambling related services. This is just the beginning, and I look forward to mobile sports betting generating more revenue for years to come." According to GeoComply, a software firm used by sports books to ensure geolocation requirements, more than 3.8 million unique player accounts have been created since launch in January of 2022, conducting over 1.2 billion transactions. The one-year anniversary of mobile sports wagering in New York State was last Sunday, January 8, 2023. Through January 7, the total mobile sports wagering handle reached $16,595,732,482 and generated a total net revenue to education of $709,247,358. For Fiscal Year 2023 (April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023) and annually thereafter, revenues from mobile sports wagering are distributed as follows: $5 million to fund sports programs for underserved youths, $6 million to fund problem gambling education and treatment, with the remaining majority to fund education aid. Every Friday, the NYS Gaming Commission publishes weekly mobile sports wagering reports from all of its operators online here. The Commission's regulations require operators to prevent underage gaming, provide bettors the availability to impose spending limits, and share information on gambling risks and signs of problem gambling.

Governor Kathy Hochul made a noteworthy announcement today regarding the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, which is widely recognized as one of the world's most prestigious modern and contemporary art museums. Following a massive $195 million expansion, restoration, and renovation project, the museum now boasts an impressive 50,000 square feet of exhibit space, five spacious classrooms, a brand-new restaurant, and an expansive public green space and community gathering area. This major development project, which includes the stunning new three-story Jeffrey E. Gunlach building and the restoration of two other historic buildings on the campus, is the most substantial in the museum's 160-year history. The expansion has far-reaching economic implications for Western New York and is expected to have an annual impact of $34 million while also creating 134 full-time employment opportunities. With the anticipated increase in annual visitors of over 30 percent, the museum is projected to attract at least 160,000 visitors per year. The impact on the region's economy is expected to be significant, with an estimated $34 million in additional annual revenue from tourism alone. Governor Hochul praised the museum's remarkable expansion, stating that the Buffalo AKG Art Museum is a world-class institution for modern and contemporary art that reflects the economic and cultural revival of Western New York in recent years. The museum's reputation has grown significantly in recent times, and the new expansion and campus are a true work of art that will attract travelers and support the regional tourism industry for many years to come.

On the morning of June 24th, 2022, an urgent call was made to New York State Trooper Adam Moen, SP Niagara, regarding an 8-year-old child who was stranded on a steep 20-foot ravine situated on the edge of Lake Ontario at Four Mile Creek State Park in the Town of Youngstown. Trooper Moen promptly responded to the call and quickly located the young victim who was situated on the shore below the ravine. With great expertise and presence of mind, Trooper Moen utilized a nearby rope to rappel down the perilous ravine to reach the trapped child. Without wasting any time, he immediately calmed the young boy and helped him ascend the steep cliff to safety. The child, a resident of Grand Island, NY, was uninjured and was joyously reunited with his relieved parents who had been anxiously waiting at the top of the ravine. Trooper Moen's swift actions and heroic efforts were undoubtedly the decisive factors in ensuring that the child was rescued without any harm.

Konrad Bicher has pleaded guilty to wire fraud related to his fraudulent operation of real estate companies, including entering lease agreements for residential apartments in Manhattan using false and fraudulent pretenses, and making false statements to obtain loans guaranteed by the US government. The guilty plea was made before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave. Bicher rented apartment units in Manhattan from February 2019, and despite the requirement to make monthly rental payments, he failed to do so as per the lease agreements. Bicher also refused to vacate the Units after the expiration of the lease agreements and continued to generate income by renting the Units on a short-term basis, including posting them for rent on Airbnb and other online marketplaces. Bicher and his associates failed to make over $1,000,000 in payments, and Bicher caused the Units to be listed for short-term rent on Airbnb and other online marketplaces, resulting in at least $1,170,000 in rental income to him and his associates. Bicher also obtained government-guaranteed loans through the Paycheck Protection Program during the COVID-19 pandemic. He submitted at least four applications for PPP loans on behalf of at least three entities and obtained over $565,000 in loan proceeds by submitting fraudulent documents and false information. Throughout the scheme, Bicher referred to himself as the “Wolf of Airbnb” and explained to media outlets that this nickname referred to the fact that he was “hungry and ruthless enough to get on top of the financial ladder” and had the “ferocity…of a wolf, because wolves are territorial, vicious, and show no mercy when provoked.” Bicher, 31, of Hialeah, Florida, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. He also agreed to forfeit $1,740,407.12 and to make restitution to victims in the amount of $1,985,251. The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted an outstanding investigation, and the case is being handled by the Office’s General Crimes Unit, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Weinberg leading the prosecution. sources: www.justice.gov, www.cnyonline.org/, U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York

On Thursday, June 22nd, around 12:50 p.m., Officer Eiffe and numerous Special Investigation Division Detectives were conducting a detail designed to target illegal narcotics activity when they received a report of an individual who may be in possession of illegal narcotics, along with a handgun. Detectives observed the suspect, 40-year-old Raymond Rivera, outside of his vehicle on Fabius Street. Rivera got in his vehicle, and Officers followed before initiating a traffic stop as the vehicle turned onto Shonnard Street. Initially, Rivera stopped his vehicle, but once Officers exited their patrol vehicle, Rivera sped off and attempted to flee. Rivera led Officers on a chase throughout the City for 11 minutes, losing two of his tires as he continued to drive recklessly, disregarding stop signs and traffic signals in and out of school zones. Eventually, Rivera's vehicle broke down in the 700 block of Otisco Street. After an arrest team stepped in, Rivera was taken into custody. When Officers searched Rivera's vehicle, they found three cellphones, a 9mm magazine, loaded with three bullets, and a blue and yellow Nautica duffle bag, which contained approximately 19,250 individual doses of heroin packaged in sections of 50, commonly referred to as a brick. Each section was wrapped in white or blue paper. Officers also found 4.1 grams of cocaine in a clear, knotted plastic baggie, and $828 dollars in cash. ​Rivera is charged with one count of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree, two counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Sell in the Third Degree, one count of Criminal Possession of Narcotics in the Fourth Degree, two counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Seventh Degree, one count of Resisting Arrest, one count of Criminal Use of Drug Paraphernalia in the Second Degree and one count of Fleeing an Officer in a Motor Vehicle in the Third Degree. Rivera was taken to hospital after complaining of chest pain before being lodged in the Onondaga County Justice Center. We would like to thank our Officers and Detectives who helped to bring this dangerous chase to a safe conclusion. They were able to arrest the suspect, and save dozens of lives by getting a mass amount of illegal drugs off of the streets of Syracuse. sources: Syracuse Police
