The list, released by the department’s warrants unit, includes suspects facing allegations such as burglary, assault, petit larceny, identity theft, and criminal contempt. Utica police said the individuals are actively wanted and should not be approached by members of the public.

Among those listed is Precious Grant, who faces charges including criminal contempt and various warrants. Erin Malone is wanted on three counts of petit larceny and additional prostitution-related charges, while Anthony Swain is sought for criminal contempt.

Other individuals include Antwon Wright, who faces multiple assault charges, and Thomas Shepherd, who is wanted for burglary. Angel Torres is listed with charges including criminal possession of a weapon and menacing, while Yhakira Marcano is wanted for burglary and petit larceny.

The list also includes Rasheed Saunders, charged with identity theft, and Shakira Padilla, who faces a criminal mischief charge. One individual on the list does not have a photo available.

Key Points
• Utica Police released April list of 10 most wanted individuals

• Public urged to submit tips; suspects considered actively wanted
