Car Break-In Suspect Caught On Surveillance Video In Medway

MEDWAY (CBS) -- Police captured surveillance footage of a suspect in a series of thefts from cars that took place over the weekend in Medway, Medfield, and Millis. The footage was posted on the Medway Police Department's Facebook page Sunday.

This video was taken at Choate Park on Saturday at about 4:55pm. It shows a suspect entering a parked car to steal a purse. The vehicle is a late model black Nissan Pathfinder which is most likely registered out of state. The individuals involved are suspected of breaking into other cars in Medway, Millis and Medfield on this same date as well as in other towns in recent days.

The footage, captured Saturday afternoon at Choate Park, shows a black, newer-model Nissan Pathfinder pulling up to a parked car. A man gets out of the passenger side of the Pathfinder, looks into the window of the parked car, opens the door, and steals an object before getting back in the Pathfinder and being driven away.

The Pathfinder has no front plate, and police said it is most likely registered out of state.

Medway Police said the people in the Pathfinder are suspected in several other vehicular break-ins in Medway, Medfield, and Millis on Saturday, as well as other recent break-ins in nearby towns. Four of the break-ins occurred in Medway between 4 and 5 p.m. Saturday in Choate Park and at Medway Commons.

Police said the suspects are stealing bags, purses, and wallets, and in some cases are smashing windows. Medway police said several iPhones that were stolen were returned to their owners after the thieves threw them from their car.

Anyone who finds personal items on or near the road, or who has any information about the suspects, is being asked to contact Medway police.
