Chicago police have arrested a man from the Northwest Side's Belmont Heights neighborhood in connection with a string of car thefts in the area.

Lazaro Montanez, 22, of the 3900 block of North Olcott Avenue, was charged with four counts of possession of a stolen vehicle and a count of possession of burglary tools, police said in a statement this morning.

In recent months, Jefferson Park District officers noticed that many Hondas were being stolen and then recovered with their catalytic converters missing. They concentrated their investigation on the area where those thefts happened.

While conducting surveillance in the area on Friday afternoon, officers identified a Honda that had been reported stolen and later saw Montanez arrive and use a "jiggler key" -- a modified key that can open and start many cars -- to get into the car, police said.

Officers trailed him to his home, where he was arrested as he tried to back the car into a rear garage, the statement said. Police found car parts and a stripped-down Honda in the garage, according to the statement.

As a result of the investigation, police recovered or accounted for eight stolen cars. Montanez is scheduled to appear in court today.

 

We need a "like" feature.

 

Good this loser is out of peoples hair for now

 

Yeah but there are 5 others just like him in a 5 mile radius. he was just dumb and got caught.

i would spray this mother****er asap

 

good **** CPD>.keep it up

 

s.k.s is what i have be using and some **** out there already knows LOL bet he will not be back

 

good. i used to d/d whatever i wanted where i used to live, ever since i moved to chicago im paranoid to drive anything with an "h" on it. i now daily beat a saturn

 

ive seen this guy before! lol

 

Lol that ain't even the main ninjas doing the taking. You kids are slow...9 times outta 10 the people that steal your cars are you friends or friends of your friends. I trust no one. Watch out for those closest to you. Haters don't have a race, color, or creed.

 

Fu#kin rookie.

 

another one bites the dust!!!!!!!!

 

edit lol

 

too close for comfort! *** hondas imma buy a daewoo lanos!!

 

thats one guy out of the hundreds that steal hondas.....

 

finally bump

 

2 bad he will be out in a couple years doin the same thing hes doin now.. glad they caught him tho

 

Check if he has a face book you can learn alot from that if he does

 

Good idea. Maybe get an idea who else is helping him steal our cars!

 

this is great news but the truth is that police dont care that our cars are getting stolen.

 

****ing right! its about time, too bad theres like a hundred of them still around

 

hopefully he squeals to get a few more thieves caught up. He's getting pressed for possesion of stolen cars and parts, he should be going away for a few years unless he cuts a deal.

I don't get how they didn't charge him with vehicle theft though. They caught him getting into a stolen vehicle, how is that not theft?

 

Maybe he will snitch on some others for a plea deal or something.

 

Lol @ the removing catalytic converters part

 

Glad one got caught.
