Man Receives Probation After Admitting to Stealing From Hatboro Vehicles

A Philadelphia man received a three year-probation sentence, and must pay restitution after he admitted to stealing from vehicles in the county, including in Hatboro, according to The Intelligencer.

The report states that Robert Rivera, 18, pleaded guilty to the charges on Tuesday in Montgomery County Court.

Rivera and 22-year-old Miguel Santiago are accused of driving through county municipalities, including Lower Moreland and Upper Moreland, to steal items from vehicles in August of last year. A Lower Moreland police officer reportedly searched Rivera’s car and found the alleged stolen items in the trunk on Aug. 30.

Rivera will have to pay $308 in restitution and also perform community service, according to the report.

The report also says that Santiago is free on bail and has been recommended for the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition Program. The program is for first-time offenders, who commit non-violent crimes. The court is expected to rule on the recommendation on June 23.
