Charges were filed against an inmate at the state correc-tional institution in Mercer County for five Armstrong County burglaries in 2015.

After police investigation, Matthew Beiter – 31 – is charged with felony criminal trespass, burglary and theft charges after a string of home burglaries in North Buffalo, South Buffalo, West Franklin and East Franklin Townships.

The first two burglaries oc-curred at the beginning of No-vember 2015.

According to criminal af-fidavits written about Beiter, South Buffalo Township Po-lice Detective Jeffrey Kuntz said Beiter stole about $4,000 worth of items during the two burglaries.

Beiter was first brought to the attention of South Buf-falo Police by the State Board of Probation and Parole after Beiter was using the address of a relative here in South Buffalo Township. Evidence linking him to the South Buf-falo burglaries was found during a traffic stop/arrest by Hermitage Police in Decem-ber 2015.

According to State troopers

who investigated the Novem-ber 9 North Buffalo Township burglary, Beiter stole two flat screen televisions and a watch while also damaging a win-dow and frame. The total loss

was estimated at $2,300.The East Franklin burglary

was the next to occur, on De-cember 2, 2015. During that incident, victims cataloged a combined value of $4,400 in stolen items – including a flat screen television, iPhone and jewelry.

Hermitage Police later con-nected Beiter to a Matthews bow stolen from the East Franklin burglary via a pawn shop sale.

The last burglary Beiter was involved in occurred the next afternoon in West Franklin Township. The homeowner, however, came back to the residence as Beiter was trying to steal a television by way of a broken window.

After taken into custody by Pennsylvania State Police troopers December 5, 2016, Beiter admitted to the bur-glaries.

According to the criminal affidavits, Beiter also com-mitted burglaries in Mercer County before his incarcera-tion.

Beiter was arraigned on $10,000 bail for each alleged incident by District Magiste-rial Judge James Owen Janu-ary 13 via video arraignment.

Beiter will be brought to the Kittanning courtroom dur-ing his preliminary hearing – which is set for January 25.
