Stephanie BurnettAmber L. Wheeler, 19, and Stephanie N. Burnett, 20, both of 145 West Van Buren St., were arrested Friday by Oswego police and charged with burglary in the second degree and fourth-degree grand larceny, both felony charges.
The two were sent to Oswego County jail in lieu of $5,000 bail and are due back in Oswego City Court Tuesday.
“We believe that these two suspects are responsible for a number of other daytime burglaries in the City of Oswego,” said Police Chief Michael Dehm. “These two females have been reportedly observed knocking on doors in area neighborhoods, specifically, in the area of West 8th Street near Tallman or Erie Streets.”
Dehm asked anyone who may have seen the women knocking on doors to call his department at 342-8130.
The investigation remains open, he said.
