An 18-year-old Mount Joy man has been charged with theft in a recent series of vehicle break-ins in West Hempfield Township, police said.

West Hempfield police said they arrested Jeffrey Lee Thomas Tuesday after getting a tip from an informant about recent car break-ins in the township.

Thomas was charged with three counts of theft, loitering and prowling and four counts of receiving stolen property from the thefts, which happened since June 4.

Police said they recovered some stolen property, including GPS units and other electronics, from the thefts.

Police also said they suspect Thomas in more than 20 incidents in which vehicles were entered but nothing was taken.

Two other suspects also may be involved, police said.

Thomas was arraigned and released on $5,000 unsecured bail, according to police.

I'm not a tough guy and I'da smacked the crap outta him if I caught him. This fat little thang is gonna have a little bra and panty set waiting in his cell.

whoa, we're on a roll. Let's see if we can get all the little buggers who break into cars and arrest their sorry asses. Because you do not want me to catch you. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I'm tempted to run a cattle fencer to my car, turned up just a little bit to four or five amps, break a window, it activates and fries your carcass to a golden brown.
Can you tell I hate thieves?

Maybe you could ask Morales for a few extra cameras from Lancaster city to post outside YOUR house
That way you would have records of anyone who came snooping around

I know in the city where I live I can't pick my nose or turn around on a sidewalk where I live without them catching me recklessly eyeballing which is probably an offense here in the city
If not--it soon will be

see Daddyjustice.com to see how they treat visitors on the day they had the open house!
Amazing!

I can hear his mother sobbing "Why is everybody alway's picking on him?"
