Hatboro Police Blotter

Police arrested an 18-year-old Hatboro man in conjunction with a string of thefts from vehicles in February.

Dylan M. Staines, from the Hatboro section of Upper Moreland Township, was arrested at approximately 3:54 p.m. Wednesday on a Hatboro Police arrest warrant. He was arraigned before Hatboro District Justice Paul Leo on five counts of theft from a motor vehicle; three counts of receiving stolen property; possession of a controlled substance; loitering and prowling at night time; and disorderly conduct. Staines was then released from custody on $25,000 unsecured bail. A majority of the stolen property was recovered during the investigation.

His arrest resulted from a police investigation that began on February 27. At that time,  police officers were looking into a report of suspicious subjects in the 300 block of Warren Road. 

The investigation revealed that five cars were entered and various items were stolen including cassette tapes, fuel cards, cologne, prescription medication, a stereo face plate and prescription glasses.
