Around 11:56 p.m. on 10/05/2023, deputies were called to the 5000 block of Majors Drive in the town of Onondaga for reports of a burglary that occurred while a resident was at home. Onondaga deputies called in their Air 1 helicopter as well as Syracuse PD. Police saw two vehicles speeding away that were later determined to be stolen in another burglary.
