Arrest made with ties to Southwick car break-ins

SOUTHWICK – Progress has been made with the investigation of the car break-ins that occurred on Sept. 19. According to Sgt. Det. Robert Landis, East Windsor Police arrested three individuals on October 3 for attempting to break into motor vehicles in town. It was then discovered that the three males had arrived to East Windsor in a stolen vehicle from Southwick.

Nicholas Desorbo, 18, of Enfield, Conn., was in possession of that vehicle and is a key person of interest in the car break-ins in Southwick. Southwick Police are still completing the process of the arrest and charges are still pending on Desorbo.

During the week of Sept. 18 the Southwick Police received multiple reports of car break-ins. Those incidents were reported to have occurred in the West section of town on streets off of main roads where there is not a lot of motor vehicle traffic, other than vehicles that live in those neighborhoods.

It was also reported that all of the vehicles broken into had their doors unlocked and there were even some instances where the keys were left in the ignition. The suspected thieves have supposedly taken money, purses, credit cards, and electronic devices.

Once official charges have been made, the Westfield News will continue to update this investigation.
