18-year-old charged in vehicle break-ins
An 18-year-old Jacksonville man was arrested in connection with a string of vehicle break-ins in Sherwood that netted him a North Little Rock police radio before he was caught, police said.
Nicholas "Nick" Vandale was arrested Wednesday morning at a North Little Rock residence and charged with two counts of felony theft by receiving and one count of misdemeanor theft by receiving.
His arrest came after a North Little Rock patrol car parked at an officer's home in Sherwood was broken into and the portable police radio taken early Wednesday.
Officers received information that Vandale was at a residence on Shamrock Drive in North Little Rock, which they saw him leave through the rear door with the radio and a .40-caliber Glock 23 handgun, according to his arrest report.
Vandale was released on an appearance agreement.
