HARTLAND — A resident of the 2700 block of Drum Road told Niagara County Sheriff's deputies that a Jennings semi-automatic .22LR pistol taken from his residence at an unknown date and time was recovered by the Niagara Falls Police Department.

The man told patrol that specific firearm is not one that he uses often, and can't remember looking for it within the last year. Further, he said that he did not know the firearm was missing until he was contacted by NFPD regarding its recovery. He said it is kept in a locked box, separate from other firearms, and now cannot find the key to the lock box since learning that the firearm had been taken from the residence without his knowledge.

The Hartland man said  he believes whoever took the firearm, may have also taken the key to the lock box so that he did not have access to it, but he was able to shake the lock box and confirm that it was empty.

Sheriff's deputies contacted NFPD and were told that the firearm was recovered from the residence of Dartanyon T. Robinson during a probation check.

Patrol advised the complainant that a report would be on file with NCSO, and that the case would be forwarded to CIB for possible further investigation.
