HAMMOND, N.Y. — New York State Police announced that on Monday they arrested a Finger Lakes man for stealing a boat from the Chippewa Yacht Club Docks in the town of Hammond in St. Lawrence County.
Joseph P. Dileo, age 46 of Farmington, is accused of stealing a boat valued at about $7,000 from the yacht club on or about Aug. 12, the State Police said. The boat — a 1988, 19-foot Grady White boat, with a 2004 Johnson 4 stroke 115 horsepower motor — was later found by the Ontario Provincial Police in Canada. They discovered the boat abandoned in a private slip in Rockport, Ontario.
An investigation led Canadian police to arresting Dileo, who was found to have entered Canada illegally. The Canadian Border Services turned Dileo over to New York State Police, where he was charged with 3rd degree grand larceny. He was arraigned at the Town of Hammond Court and released under the supervision of the St. Lawrence County Probation Department. However, Dileo was found to have an active warrant for his arrest in Ontario County. Dileo was transported to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Department to answer for his charges.
