BOSTON (WHDH) - A break-in suspect was arrested in the South End early Thursday morning after his crime was caught on camera, Boston police said.
Michael McCole, 54, of Boston, was arrested about 12:40 a.m. by officers responding to a reported breaking and entering in progress in the area of 48 East Springfield St., according to Boston police. Officers arriving on scene said they saw him emerge from a gated, fenced in patio area.
A search of the area revealed a tan tool container that was open and had a forced open padlock.
