BROOKLINE, MASS. (WHDH) - On Sunday Brookline police arrested Darryl Breen, 68, in connection with an open and gross lewdness investigation from a June incident.
The suspect, believed to be Breen, was captured on surveillance footage in relation to the incident, which occurred on June 22. Cameras also captured images of a vehicle involved in the incident, which a patrol officer saw and identified as the vehicle of interest on Sunday.
A video shows Breen in a grey pickup truck following a teenager on a morning jog. Police said Breen spotted the girl and followed her every move. When she stopped running, he stopped his truck and performed a lewd act, police said.
“The Officer conducted a traffic stop and the operator produced identification that was later determined to be a false identification,” police said in a statement. “The false identification notwithstanding, the officer developed probable cause that the operator was in fact the suspect wanted in connection with two separate open & gross incidents that occurred in Brookline.”
The individual, later identified as Breen by his fingerprints, was arrested. At the time of his arrest, police said Breen was in possession of a stun gun, a BB gun, and two pairs of handcuffs.
Police said there were two teenage victims in Brookline.
“Both reporting very similar incidents. It was pretty straightforward as far as matching the two instances to the same suspect,” said Paul Campbell of the Brookline Police Department.
Officers also discovered Breen was the subject of an arrest warrant out of Florida.
“Information gathered determined that Breen was likely active in the area of Brookline, Allston, and Back Bay area of Boston, and we believe that there are other victims of similar incidents within the last several weeks that may have or may not have been reported to law enforcement,” police said.
Breen is being held in custody on a 20-day hold and is due back in court in August.
If you recognize this individual and believe you may have been a victim, please contact Brookline Police Detectives at 617-730-2244, or contact the police department within the jurisdiction that the incident occurred.
“No community is completely immune and I always tell people to always be alert and be aware of your surroundings,” Campbell said. “We think there is a pretty good chance there are more victims either in Brookline or in the surrounding areas.”
