Man Charged with Grand Larceny

A Cattaraugus county man is in jail for stealing items in the Coldspring and South Valley areas over the past year and selling them for scrap.

Sheriff’s deputies say 54-year-old Ward Wheeler had been taking items from camp sites along the Allegany River, concentrating mostly along the Route 280 river bank.

The arrest stems from an incident in April when Wheeler allegedly stole a pontoon boat and dock system from a camp site, cut it up and scrapped it at a local scrap yard. The other thefts happened between September of last year and this month.
