Buffalo, NY – Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard reports the arrest of 21-year-old Deniro Bly following the investigation of multiple incidents over the past two weeks. 

Just after 5 p.m. on June 19, Detectives located and arrested the suspect, without incident, along Hertel Avenue in the City of Buffalo.  Bly’s arrest ended a search, which began Monday after the defendant stole liquor from a store on South Cascade Drive in Springville.  While evading Deputies Bly is suspected of stealing a vehicle and committing a burglary in Elma.

• June 19 – felony count of criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of stolen property-firearm after detectives executed a search warrant for a vehicle and recovered a stolen firearm from the June 16 burglary. 

“The Detectives and Deputies assigned to this case did an outstanding job in following through with these incidents,” said Sheriff Howard.  “They were relentless in pursuing the defendant, locating, and arresting him.  There is still more work to do, but this is a fine example of how good old police work resulted in the arrest of the prime suspect.”
