On Tuesday 12/5 Officers responded to the area of Pleasant
St. and Parkman St. for a report of suspicious activity, a male throwing an
empty package box over a fence. A witness flagged down an officer and pointed
out the vehicle of the suspect, parked on Parkman St. The witness stated that
he had seen a Hispanic male wearing a black jacket and orange hat walk up to
the courtyard of one of the buildings.
Officers located the suspect who stated that he was in the area looking
to pick up free items left out for trash. The suspect told officers that they
could look inside his car. Officers retrieved the empty package boxes in order
to determine if the suspect was in possession of any of the contents. Inside
the driver’s side door was a receipt and the matching clothing was located in the
suspect’s trunk. These items were later linked to one of the open packages.
Also located in the trunk were 4 drapes, 4 bottles of shampoo &
conditioner, and 4 Disney watches. All of these items were matched to stolen
packages in the area. The suspect was arrested for Larceny over $250, Larceny
under $250, Receiving Stolen Property over $250 and Receiving Stolen Property
under $250. After his arrest the suspect admitted to taking the items from the
packages. He also stated that he has come to Brookline in the past to find
valuables that have been left out as trash. The suspect claimed to have
Facebook and Craigslist accounts where he sells the items he finds.
