A short time later, a man matching the suspicious person’s description was located by officers on bicycle in West Yarmouth.
Through the course of their investigation, officers found evidence of the break-in in the man’s possession. David Farrell, 42, of Barnstable was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property and breaking and entering a vehicle during the nighttime.
