NICHOLS, NY (CortacaToday) – Two Tioga County residents face multiple charges in New York and Pennsylvania.

Investigators received a tip last week about multiple burglaries that led them to a home on Main Street in Nichols on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. During the execution of a search warrant, authorities say they recovered power tools and household items recently reported stolen in Northern Pennsylvania. The search also allegedly turned up approximately one pound of methamphetamine, scales, packaging material, and cash.

The occupants of the home, Candi Bellis, 38, and 25-year-old Dustin Relyea were arrested on Friday, November 1, 2024. Both are charged with two counts of felony drug possession, a single count of felony possession of stolen property, and two misdemeanors.

The Tioga County Sheriff’s Office says more charges for Bellis and Relyea are expected, as well as additional arrests.
