LaFayette, NY -- A LaFayette man is facing a felony charge after he was found to be in possession of a all-terrain vehicle with defaced vehicle identification numbers, state police said.

Matthew Ventura, 25, of 3231 Webb Road, was charged Tuesday with illegal possession of a vehicle identity number, state police Investigator Kevin P. Connors said.

Troopers found the Yamaha four wheeler in Ventura’s possession on March 16, Connors said. Both the vehicle identification number plates were ground down to make them unreadable, Connors said.

It is unknown if the vehicle is stolen or who might be the rightful owner, Connors said. The investigation is continuing.
