ACUSHNET MA NOV 10 2008 — A 35-year-old man described by police as a security guard was arrested Saturday in connection with several motor vehicle breaks.
Detective James Costa said the arrest of Jeff Silva of 7 Felton St., New Bedford, was made with the help of two brothers who spotted the suspect after he allegedly broke into their pickup truck on Saucier Street about 5:30 p.m.
The civilians chased the suspect and detained him until police arrived.
Detective Costa said Mr. Silva was wearing a security guard’s uniform when he was arrested.
He is charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime into a motor vehicle, larceny of more than $250 and possession of burglary tools.
A Global Positioning System device was stolen from the truck and later recovered by police.
Based on reports from witnesses, Detective Costa said police have charged Mr. Silva with three other motor vehicle breaks that occurred overnight between Friday and Saturday.
Police said Mr. Silva will be arraigned Wednesday in New Bedford District Court.
Detective Costa urged residents to lock their vehicles and remove all valuables.
He said there have been a rash of breaks in which a laptop computer, GPS device and voice recorder have been stolen.
