Sheriff Henderson says a Shortsville man was taken into custody after a lengthy investigation into a series of burglaries that occurred in Ontario County.
The string of larcenies occurred between September 2020 and present day, according to the Sheriff, who said that Gregory Hubbard, 40, of Shortsville was taken into custody without incident.
He was charged with unlawfully entering a business in the town of Canandaigua on September 27, and removing property from the building or assisting another person to do so.
Agbareia’s story is emblematic of a larger institutional problem at the FBI. Many of the bureau’s more than 15,000 informants commit crimes that go unpunished because the bureau views the informants’ work as valuable. The extent of this problem is largely unknown because the FBI is not required to report to Congress when informants violate the law without FBI authorization. According to policy, however, the bureau is supposed to notify the Justice Department of these violations. Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by USA Today, HuffPost, and the Daily Dot show that from 2010 to 2014, the FBI permitted informants to violate the law more than 20,000 times. The number of unauthorized crimes committed by informants like Agbareia that are ignored by the FBI has never been disclosed.
