Car Break-In Victim Follows Stoughton Man, Leads To Arrest

BROCKTON, MA — A man who had his car broken into saw the suspect walk away from his car. Although he called police, the victim decided to take action into his own hands to make sure the man was arrested.

He followed the suspect to the intersection of Belmont Street and Belmont Avenue and then West Street before calling to update Brockton Police.

Nicholas Citrone, 32 of Stoughton was arrested at the intersection of West Elm Street and Carlton Avenue. Police said he broke into the victim's car using an illegal burglary tool, and stole under $1,200 worth of property.

Citrone is scheduled for arraignment in Brockton District Court Tuesday.
