A Massachusetts, man has been arrested in a string of attempted break-ins in neighboring Watertown, police said Tuesday.
Jonathan Quintanilla of Waltham is accused in a series of attempted break-ins at homes and cars in the West end neighborhoods of Watertown over the weekend. Watertown police say he was arrested with the help of police in Newton.
Police released surveillance video to the public before announcing the arrest.
Investigators believe Quintanilla may be involved in other break-ins in the area. Anyone who recognizes him or thinks they may have surveillance video of him is asked to contact police.
Watertown police remind residents they can take steps to reduce their risk of burglary, including:
- Always locking your home and car. Consider extra security like deadbolts, alarms, and surveillance cameras
- Keep your property well-lit, including outdoor lighting and motion detectors
- Keep valuables out of site and consider using a safe for important documents or high-value items
