Burglary Suspect Already Had 'Several' Ongoing Cases Before Arrest

Boston Police said they arrested a Malden man with "several" open breaking and entering cases during a reportedly botched car burglary last week.

Kevin Donovan, of 22 Lebanon Street in Malden, was arrested and charged with the alleged possession of burglarious tools last Thursday, after a witness called 911 to report two men breaking into a vehicle in the city's Back Bay neighborhood. 

Police said Donovan matched the description of the suspect's clothing, and allegedly fled when approached by officers. 

Upon his apprehension, investigators said they allegedly found a screwdriver and pocket flashlight in his possession. 

Police said a witness could identify Donovan's clothing, but did not see his facial features.

No signs of forced entry into the vehicles were discovered.
