Windsor Locks police interrupted a burglary-in-progress early this morning at Fox Hill Automotive and apprehended the suspect after finding him hiding under a truck.

Police responded to the report of a burglary-in-progress at 6:03 a.m. on Thursday morning at 466 Spring Street.

Ultimately, officers closed in on Frabrizi, 55, and found him hiding underneath a truck that was inside the building. Officers initiated the arrest and Frabrizi was taken into custody without incident.

Police said that money stolen from the cash drawer was recovered at the scene. Frabrizi was in possession of burglar tools and had forcibly entered the building, according to police.

Frabrizi, of 94 North Main Street in Windsor Locks, was arrested on charges of third-degree burglary, criminal attempt to commit sixth-degree larceny, third-degree criminal mischief and possession of burglar tools.

He was held on a $10,000 bond and is due in court on May 5.
