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.
