Police today said a 47-year-old man arrested this week is responsible for a spate of burglaries in North Side garages.
The arrest Monday of Robert Gayol while he tried to sell stolen golf clubs has cleared at least two burglary cases, and police expect more cases to be solved as additional victims identify their stolen property.
A clerk at a sports re-sale shop on the 3900 block of North Ashland Avenue recognized Gayol Monday as a person who previously had sold stolen golf clubs, and stalled him while police were called. An arrest was made without incident.
After investigation, police were able to connect Gayol to a garage burglary pattern on the North Side, and later found numerous stolen items in Gayol's garage on 5200 block of West Newport Avenue.
Detectives from the Belmont Area continue to investigate as more victims come forward to identify stolen property.
Gayol has been charged with felony burglary and misdemeanor theft of lost or mislaid property, and could face additional charges later
