GREECE, N.Y. — Greece Police said they have arrested a Rochester man as they said he broke into a home in Greece Thursday.

Police said at around 3a.m. Thursday, they received a report of a burglary in progress at a residence on Chippendale Road in Greece.

When they first arrived, police said there was evidence of a forced entry into the home and that the suspect, 25-year-old Jaiquan Goins, demanded that the victim give him keys to their vehicle before he fled the home with stolen items.

A perimeter was then established and police said they requested help from the Monroe County’s Sheriff’s Office K9 Unit and that they also deployed a police drone with thermal imaging to help with the search.

With these search efforts in place, police said they were able to locate Goins as the drone operator spotted a person checking car doors further down the street and identified him as Goins.

Police stated that Goins was also responsible for a second burglary that happened the same morning at a different home on Chippendale Road.

Goins is a predicate offender that has an “extensive,” criminal history which includes multiple prior arrests related to home burglaries, according to police.

Goins has been charged with burglary in the second-degree, petit larceny and criminal mischief in the fourth-degree. He was arraigned in Greece Town Court and remanded to the Monroe County Jail on a $25,000 cash bail.

Police said Goins is on parole currently for a prior burglary conviction and that the NYS Parole has been contacted to initiate violation proceedings.

In a post on X, Greece Police shared the surveillance video that shows Goins attempting to break into the home.
