“Grinch” steals Christmas items

PITTSFORD — State Police are requesting assistance in any information regarding the theft of food and walkers from the adult living community. The approximately 30 residents at the National Church Residences Village Manor on Arch Street in Pittsford, woke Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, to “a visit from the Grinch,” police reported.

Items reported missing included: Christmas cookies, tossed salad, frozen chicken, several turkeys, loaves of bread (frozen), hot dog rolls, dinner rolls, canned vegetables, 10 pounds of potatoes, Christmas Cd’s, puzzles, a TV and stereo and 10 walkers.

The local community rallied and replaced the food and more — in fact they may now be covered for a feast for the next week, too, police said.

A criminal investigation is still pending any leads.
