Man Caught Trying to Break into Pickup in Watertown

Two men walking back to their Ford pickup parked on Buick Street in the early hours of April 24 were surprised to see a pair of legs sticking out of the window.

The men, who had been visiting a friend on Evans Street, first noticed that the interior light was on, said Police Lt. Michael Lawn, and then saw someone's hanging out of the passenger-side window.

"When he was spotted, the individual got out of the vehicle and ran away," Lawn said. "The two men ran after him and caught him on Waltham Street."

Missing from the car were two cell phone chargers, which were found on the street, Lawn said.

The man seen breaking into the truck was identified as Michael E. Caira, 21, of 137 Morse St. in Watertown. He was arrested at 3:38 a.m. on April 24, and faces a charge of felony nighttime breaking and entering a vehicle, Lawn said.
