Man charged with trying to steal tires from a car parked in Southie
Police said he sent a text just before being arrested that reportedly read, “I’m trying to take these rims so hold on please.’’
A man was arrested on Sunday night after officers said they caught him stealing tires from a car parked in a South Boston parking lot, according to a police statement.
Lamont Lungelow, 35, was arrested and charged with attempted larceny. According to police, officers saw Longelow using a rachet and other tools to pull tires off of a South Boston car.
After arresting him, the officers said they checked Lungelow’s cell phone and found a text message that reportedly read, “I’m trying to take these rims so hold on please.’’
During an arraignment at South Boston Municipal Court, Lungelow was released on $500 bail and ordered to wear a GPS monitor and remain on house arrest between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Judge Michael Bolden also denied a motion to revoke Lungelow’s bail on an open drug case in Boston Municipal Court, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office. Lungelow’s attorney, Christopher Dolan, declined to comment.
