Allegheny County Police are looking for one of two men suspected of committing multiple vehicle break-ins in the area.
Police said multiple victims reported missing items, includ ing wallets, from break-ins that occ urred March 10 at White Oak Park. Those missing items led to purchases on stolen credit cards, officials said.
According to police, Matias Montes-Vega and Angelo Nanculeo, both 26, attempted to buy more than $10,000 worth of items from area businesses.
On March 11, Upper St. Clair Police and Peters Township Police conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle being operated by Montes-Vega. The vehicle was previously linked to suspected vehicle break-ins in the area and Louisville, Ky., in 2024.
He was taken into custody and is in the Allegheny County Jail. Police are attempting to locate Nanculeo.
They are facing multiple charges, including receiving stolen property, theft from a motor vehicle, access device fraud and criminal conspiracy.
Police reminded the public to protect their belongings, stating, “Thieves are known to target vehicles in public places, and they aren’t afraid to break into locked vehicles.”
