Two men have been indicted for allegedly breaking into commercial businesses, and stealing or attempting to steal ATMs from inside.
Throughout the month of March, Jamie Volini and John Mahoney allegedly burglarized five commercial businesses and attempted to burglarize one commercial business throughout the Towns of Islip and Brookhaven. Once inside the businesses, Volini and Mahoney allegedly attempted to either break into or take ATMs. The defendants successfully removed two ATMs from two separate commercial establishments and stole money from a third ATM at another location.
On June 18, law enforcement placed Volini and Mahoney in custody. At the time of the arrest, Volini was allegedly in possession of over one-eighth of an ounce of cocaine.
Volini and Mahoney were each indicted for five counts of third-degree burglary and three counts of third-degree grand larceny, all Class D felonies; and one count of third-degree attempted burglary, a Class E felony. Volini was additionally charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a Class C felony.
“Two individuals have been taken into custody in connection with yet another series of commercial burglaries in Suffolk County,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney. “The arrests are the result of diligent investigative work by the Suffolk County Police Department, and I thank them for their work on this case. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to ensure that those that steal the property of others are held responsible for their actions.”
