Two men may be headed to Genesee County intent on robbing a farm

By Howard B. Owens

State Police have been advised to be on the lookout for two white males who may be in the Genesee County area in an allegedly stolen vehicle with the intention of robbing a farm.

One of the suspects reportedly told a witness a week ago that if law enforcement interfered with his plans he would lead them on a high speed chase and exchange gunfire.

The subject, identified as Robert Jones, was seen at the time with a shotgun.

The other subject was identified as Benjamin W. Muntz, who has resided in Basom and Oakfield.

A warrant was issued for the arrest of Muntz on March 27 when he failed to appear in county court for sentencing on his burglary, 3rd, and grand larceny, 4th, convictions.

That warrant and one other from Genesee County are still active for Muntz.

The duo is allegedly in a stolen gold Ford Focus with a decal in the back window of an unknown cartoon character holding a cross.

The original officer advisory was issued by authorities in Fayetteville, Ark.

Law enforcement is advised that if the two men are located to use extreme caution.

Citizens should not approach the subjects if spotted but call 9-1-1 immediately.

Robbing a farm (what're they gonna steal, silage and manure?), coming back to NY with warrants waiting, carrying a firearm across several state borders to use during the commission of a crime, planning on shooting it out with police..hiding out in Fayetteville, Ark.....dueling banjos.....I don't believe there are any pencils in the box at all
