HYANNIS — A 41-year-old Falmouth man was arrested Sunday on charges related to breaking into vehicles and stealing cash.
Bruno Lacerda was taken into custody at 1:36 a.m. at the intersection of Main Street and Yarmouth Road by Officer Ethan Chasson.
The arrest stems from an incident Friday at 11:41 p.m. when K9 Officer Nolan O’Melia responded to 70 Elm St. for suspicious activity.
A resident reported that her home camera system alerted her to someone inside her car.
Police said Lacerda was seen going through vehicles in the driveway.
An investigation revealed that Lacerda entered three vehicles and took approximately $80 in cash before fleeing the scene.
The suspect was described as wearing a black shirt and blue shorts with his hair in a ponytail.
When arrested Sunday, Lacerda appeared to be wearing the same clothing.
He was transported to the Barnstable Police Department and booked on three counts of breaking and entering into a vehicle and one count of larceny under $1,200.
Lacerda was released on personal recognizance and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday at Barnstable District Court.
