CHILI, N.Y. (WHEC) — A Monroe County Sheriff’s Office K9 caught a burglar Thursday night.

He was hiding behind the safe when the K9 found him.

Andrew Mott, 33, of Irondequoit was charged with third degree burglary, second degree criminal mischief and possession of burglar tools.

Deputies say he was arraigned in Chili Town Court then remanded to the Monroe County Jail on no bail because he is a predicate felon.
