BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. — A Philadelphia man, taken into custody in February 2020 in connection with a string of commercial burglaries in Bucks County, has been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay restitution to his victims.

On June 28, following an earlier guilty plea, David Andrauskas was sentenced to between 6.5 and 13 years in prison and ordered to pay restitution to the victims.

Andrauskas pleaded guilty to burglary or attempted burglary of the following Bucks County businesses in 2020:

Andrauskas was arrested Feb. 8, 2020 after he fled an early morning traffic stop, leading Bensalem Police on a brief pursuit during which Andrauskas’s vehicle accelerated to speeds well in excess of 100 mph, a criminal complaint says.

During the stop officers had identified Andrauskas as matching the description of a man captured in still photographs committing a burglary at a business in the township three days prior. His vehicle, a silver 2001 Honda Accord missing a front hubcap, was also a match with
the vehicle believed to be associated with the break in.

Andrauskas sped away from the stop as officers attempted to detain him. He was arrested at his home several hours later.

Following his arrest, a multi-agency Bucks County investigation implicated Andrauskas in a second burglary in the township as well as numerous break ins and thefts from businesses elsewhere in the county.

During the burglaries, investigators determined, Andrauskas broke open cash registers and left with the cash he found. He made off with $2,000 from one business, though his burglaries more often yielded a significantly smaller take, if any cash at all.

Andrauskas typically entered businesses between 1:30 and 3:30 a.m. through a window by first removing an air conditioning unit or by otherwise breaking the window.

The cases were investigated by the New Hope Borough Police Department, Bensalem Township Police Department, Bristol Borough Police Department, Upper Makefield Township Police Department, Newtown Borough Police Department, Middletown Township Police Department and Newtown Township Police Department.
