Cohasset man arrested after series of car break-ins – Boston News, Weather, Sports

COHASSET, MASS. (WHDH) – A Cohasset man is facing charges after allegedly breaking into several cars parked in the area, police said.

A statement from Cohasset police said the break-ins occurred throughout the day and evening on Sunday in the areas of Cohasset Village, Pleasant Street, Red Gate Lane and Fern Way.

According to police, officers arrested 24-year-old Jack MacMillan on Sunday night around 10:30 p.m. and recovered stolen property. Police said officers also seized several prescription drugs that did not belong to MacMillan.

In their statement, Cohasset police said MacMillan entered cars, “rummaged through” them and fled with stolen items. Police said their further investigation and subsequent 911 calls reporting suspicious activity helped investigators track down MacMillan on North Main Street near Wheelwright Park.

MacMillan now faces charges including breaking into a motor vehicle at night with intent to commit a felony, two counts of breaking into a motor vehicle during the day with intent to commit a felony, receiving stolen goods and possession of Class E drugs.

Police said MacMillan was held overnight before appearing in court Monday morning. During his interview, officers found a Porsche key fob that they suspect was stolen.

While the investigation is ongoing, police suspect that even more victims have not reported where their cars were broken into. Police urge any victims of such incidents to contact authorities by phone at 781-383-1212 or by email at [email protected].
