A man was arrested in Malden Tuesday for allegedly stealing a cable from the movie set of Patriots Day, according to Malden police.
David Lyndell, age 45, of Malden, was charged with larceny over $250, taking the license plate of another, and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, police said.
Police received a call from Malden Operations around 2:15 p.m. that a man had stolen a cord from the set of the upcoming Mark Wahlberg movie about the Boston Marathon bombings. Employees told police the man had placed the cord in a car on Mason Street.
Police then learned the suspect had fled the scene by car after a security guard confronted him about the equipment stolen from the area. Using a description of Lyndell, the car, and a license plate number, police said they were able to locate the car at a residence on the corner of Pearl and Whitman streets.
Through the investigation, police also discovered Lyndell’s license plate had been stolen weeks earlier, according to police.
