Police arrested a Hingham man Friday whom they suspect of committing scores of burglaries across the region, according to the Brockton Enterprise.
Anyone facing burglary, breaking and entering, or other property or theft crimes in Quincy District Court or Newburyport District Court should seek an experienced Massachusetts defense attorney to fight the charges. In this case, the defendant is also facing a host of bail and probation violations that will require the knowledge and experience of a qualified Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer.
Newbury police stopped the man at about 1:40 a.m. Friday; he was driving a minivan that had been reported stolen. The six counts Newbury police filed against him bring the crimes he is accused of committing to 68.
The defendant has been under investigation for months; a Quincy District Court judge let the 50-year-old defendant out of jail in December, according to the Enterprise.
The judge ordered the man back to jail in December but he reportedly fled instead. The defendant has almost 50 criminal convictions dating back to 1978 and has been in and out of prison for most of his adult life.
He was arraigned Friday in Newburyport District Court, where is bail was revoked and he was ordered held for 60 days. He is incarcerated in the Essex County jail. He pleaded not guilty to charges of larceny of a motor vehicle, larceny, felony breaking and entering into a vehicle at night, driving with a suspended license and marked lane violations.
Police call him a career criminal who has hit houses and vehicles from Plymouth to Quincy and beyond. Charges among 43 arrest warrants obtained by Marshfield police include a charge accusing him of being a common and notorious thief, which carries a 20-year sentence. He also faces 19 charges by Norwell police, including breaking and entering at night and identity fraud.
Police reportedly found a storage unit in Hingham filled with what they believe is stolen evidence from home and vehicle break ins across the region, including Christmas presents.
