car break ins

There's been an uptick in reported vehicle larcenies and thefts in the Mohawk Valley and one local police department has apparently had it.

''You are sooo dumb! You are really dumb, for real!''

Three people are facing charges for allegedly breaking into cars on the 900 block of Nichols Street in Utica.

Utica Police are again reminding residents to lock their vehicles and not leave anything valuable in plain sight.
