HERKIMER – A Herkimer man is facing charges after he was allegedly found to be searching through other people’s vehicles, according to the Herkimer Police Department.
Eighteen-year-old Matthew Sierant is charged with third-degree criminal tampering, attempted petit larceny and trespass.
Herkimer police say that between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 6, they received several calls reporting that someone was going through vehicles in the area of Bellinger Avenue and Margaret Street.
Police were given a description of the suspect and they say they found Sierant on Main Street, who was identified by one of the callers as the man who was rummaging through their vehicle.
