Officials with the Dallas Township Police Department arrested a male they believe to be connected to a string of vehicle break-ins at the Valley View Trailer Park in Dallas Township.

Based on the frequency of the break-ins and theft from vehicles over the past several months, police organized and conducted a surveillance operation.

During the two-day operation, officers say they were able to apprehend a male prowling around the park. He was identified as Bailey Parker Pirl. Officials say he was wearing all black clothes and a face mask.

Officers were able to determine Pirl lived in the park and obtained a search warrant for his home where they found the items that were stolen from the cars.

Pirl admitted to breaking into numerous cars in the area since November 2021 to support his drug addiction.

He was charged with multiple counts of theft from motor vehicles as well as loitering and prowling.
