FULTON COUNTY, NY -- On Tuesday, July 13th, at 5:55 in the morning the Gloversville Police Department Patrol Division responded to 12 Fremont St., NBT Bank, for a criminal mischief report to the ATM.
The damage to the ATM was in excess of twelve thousand dollars.
The Detective Division responded to the scene and were able to obtain photos of the suspect, as well as a photo of the vehicle used in the commission of the crime.
Later that same day at 9:49 in the morning, the Gloversville Police Department Patrol Division were dispatched to 106 E.

Video was obtained from that incident and the subject in the video that broke in and damaged the property matched the male who caused the damage to the ATM at 12 Fremont St.
At 5:35 in the afternoon on July 13th, an off-duty member of the Gloversville Police Department observed the vehicle used in the commission of the crime that occurred at 12 Fremont St., now at Snyder’s deli, 60 Elmwood Ave. just outside the city.

Members of the Gloversville Police Department Detective and Patrol Divisions were notified and responded to Snyder’s Deli.
Both subjects were detained, and the male was identified as Joshua Niepoth.
Niepoth was then brought back to the Gloversville Police Department where he was charged with Burglary in the Third Degree (Class D Felony) and two counts of Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree (Class D Felonies).
Niepoth was arraigned in Gloversville City Court and then remanded to the Fulton County Correctional Facility without bail due to two previous felony convictions.
