Police make arrest in rash of Central Mass. house break-ins

  • PRINCETON — A multi-agency effort led by the Princeton Police Department resulted in the arrest of a suspect connected to a series of house breaks in Princeton and several other Worcester County towns.

    The collaboration, which spanned several weeks, involved the combined forces of the Princeton, Auburn, Leicester, Charlton, Shrewsbury, Dudley and Holden police departments. Their collective efforts aimed at gathering intelligence and evidence in relation to the house breaks, which recently stirred concerns among Princeton residents.

    The coordinated investigation identified a suspect, which led to a search warrant being executed at his residence. Authorities found significant evidence during the search, tying the individual to the string of residential break-ins throughout central Massachusetts.
