The Stoughton Police Department has received an arrest warrant and is looking for a Brockton man after investigating several car thefts, credit card frauds, and motor vehicle break-ins, according to Chief Donna McNamara.
Larceny Over $1,200, Improper Use of a Credit Card Over $1,200, Receiving a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Breaking and Entering a Vehicle During the Daytime with Intent to Commit a Felony (eight counts), Larceny Under $1,200 (four counts), Improper Use of a Credit Card Under $1,200 (two counts), and Malicious Destruction of Property Under $1,200 are the charges that Stoughton Police obtained an arrest warrant for Elvis Andrade of Brockton on Tuesday.
Just before 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, December 11th, Stoughton Police were called to an apartment building on Buckley Road in response to a report of an overnight car break-in.
Another local called the police later that day to say that their wallet had been stolen and that their car had been broken into. In Brockton, the victim’s debit card was used at Speedway and CVS.
Stoughton Police received a separate report of a car break-in at the apartment complex one week prior, on December 4. A resident stated that their debit card was used at a CVS and that their wallet had been stolen.
Following an investigation, authorities were able to collect security footage showing a man in Grinch pajamas using the Stoughton-stolen debit card. The same man was implicated in both a car theft and a credit card fraud at an Avon Walmart, according to the investigation.
The same person was eventually connected by police to three separate incidents: a car theft on December 1st, a car break-in and credit card fraud on December 4th, and a car theft on December 9th.
Andrade, who is wanted on five active arrest warrants, was identified as the suspect by Stoughton Police on December 13th with assistance from the Brockton Police Department.
It is requested that anyone with knowledge concerning his location contact Stoughton Police at 781-344-2424.
