On September 9, 2025, New York State Police arrested Jason Boyea, age 45, of North Bangor, NY, and Hunter J. Lamay, age 21, of Malone, NY, for petit larceny. Additionally, Lisa A. Pitts, age 33, of Massena, NY, was arrested on outstanding warrants from a previous incident.
The arrests occurred at approximately 8:05 p.m. when State Police received a report of a larceny incident at Home Depot, located on Stephenville Road in the village of Massena. An investigation revealed that Boyea and Lamay entered the store and were seen with a merchandise valued at $399.00 and another item valued at $149.00.
