North Reading Man Arrested For Wilmington Boat Break-In

WILMINGTON, MA -- A North Reading man is facing felony charges after he was arrested for breaking into a boat on Blueberry Lane. Wilmington Police responded to a call at 2:33 am Tuesday from a resident who said a man with black hair and wearing a red and black parka breaking into a boat stored on her property. Police observed two suspects fleeing the area, one of whom was later detained by North Reading Police.

After being positively identified by the caller, police arrested Michael A. Maksou Jr., 21, of North Reading and charged him with nighttime breaking and entering, a felony, according to the Wilmington Police log. Maksou has a history of getting caught breaking into vehicles. In 2016, Georgetown police arrested him in connection with five vehicle break-in during a single night.

That arrest resulted in the revocation of his bail for an earlier arrest for breaking and entering out of Haverhill District Court.
