Woman pleads guilty to burglarizing business in Roxbury
DELHI, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A Delaware County woman admitted to burglarizing a Town of Roxbury business during her court appearance on Tuesday.
Delaware County District Attorney Shawn Smith announced that 40-year-old Elizabeth Motts pleaded guilty to Burglary in the Third Degree.
On February 13, New York State Police responded to Mountainside Creamery for a report of stolen items. The items taken included steel press plates, cooper wire rolls, and yellow brass solids. Signs of forced entry were discovered.
Troopers noted that a former employee had stolen copper wire in November 2024. Troopers interviewed the owner of a local scrap yard.
On February 10, law enforcement was sent to the scrap yard for an ongoing domestic dispute. Motts was fighting with a male while unloading several metal sheets onto the scales that would later be confirmed to be stolen.
Motts admitted to assisting in the burglary of Mountainside Creamery and to the transportation of the stolen metal materials to the scrap yard.
'I want to thank Troopers Carey and Carron of the New York State Police for their diligent work on this case. Not only was a burglary of a prominent local business solved, but a whole separate business was able to have their property returned to them,' said Smith.
