Lincoln break-in suspect nabbed in Lawrence

July 28, 2022

A garage surveillance photo of the Minuteman Commons burglar later identified and arrested.

Just days after a series of break-ins at Minuteman Commons in Lincoln, police arrested a suspect and recovered most of the stolen property.

Kevin Lynch, 40, of Lawrence was arrested at his Lawrence home on July 27 and charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime and several larceny charges after he allegedly stole bicycles and golf clubs from three garages in the Virginia Road complex on the night of July 19-20.

Lincoln police shared a surveillance photo of Lynch with other area enforcement agencies including Massachusetts State Police and police departments in Lowell, Chelmsford, and Lawrence. He was subsequently identified and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Lynch was taken into custody and was due to be arraigned on July 28 in the Concord District Court.

Lincoln Police Chief Kevin Kennedy said he couldn’t reveal if Lynch has a prior arrest record but noted that he was quickly fingered by several police departments after they saw his picture.

Kennedy said it was unclear why Lynch allegedly stole from Minuteman Commons, “but I don’t think there’s any reason to fear that this are was targeted over any other area.”

The quick arrest “shows the value of cooperation between multiple law enforcement agencies in sharing information that led to the arrest and recovery of the evidence,” he added.

Police searching for North Lincoln burglary suspect

July 25, 2022

Anyone who recognizes this man should call Lincoln police at 781-259-8113. (Click either image to enlarge)

Lincoln police have released a picture of a man suspected of stealing items from at least three garages in the Minuteman Commons condominium complex on Virginia Road and are asking the public to help identify him.

During the day on Friday, July 20, police received reports from three residences that bicycles and golf clubs had been stolen from garages. Police Chief Kevin Kennedy said the break-ins most likely occurred in the late evening or during overnight hours. Anyone who recognizes the person should call the non-emergency police line at 781-259-8113.

Kennedy would not say how the image was acquired, though it appears to be from a camera inside a closed garage. The man is white, has a light brown beard, and is heavily tattooed on his left arm and hand.

There have been no reports of break-ins in nearby areas in Lincoln or Concord, Kennedy said. However, because it’s summer time, “there could be other [burglaries] where people could be away and haven’t noticed,” he added.

Minuteman Commons is a 55+ community with 32 units close to Hanscom Field.
