Foxborough Burglary Suspect Calls Tow Truck After Vehicle Gets Stuck at Scene

A suspected burglar in a daytime breaking and entering Tuesday on Bailey Street may have aided police in the investigation when he got his getaway vehicle stuck at the crime scene.

“The burglar had to call a tow truck because he had driven his vehicle behind the house to hide it from being in the driveway and he got stuck,” said Foxborough Police Chief Edward O’Leary following Tuesday’s incident. “The tow truck operator was the one who called the police about suspicious activity. Once the car was pulled out the [suspect] jumped in the vehicle and drove across the lawn to get away.”

O’Leary said the tow truck operator called police to the scene and after an initial investigation discovered the break-in.

“Unfortunately for the bad guy we have a good description of the truck he used and more importantly his license plate number,” O’Leary said.

The suspect, according to O’Leary, used a vehicle owned by his mother, which prompted police to speak to her Tuesday night and gather more information.

That conversation with the suspect’s mother led police to Rhode Island Wednesday to gather more information at the Rhode Island Adult Correctional Institute, where the suspect was recently located.

“We are hoping to develop a case against him for that break-in during the daytime [Tuesday],” O’Leary said.
