Suspect in string of robberies south of Boston arrested

BOSTON — Boston police have arrested a Dorchester man they say was involved in at least six local towns.

On Tuesday evening, police were called to 11 Abbot St. for a report of a stabbing and a man with a gun bleeding from his face. Police found a man with that description, but he took off in a car, then ran away.

Police found the man near 214 Harvard St. with a cut on his arm. Officers followed a trail of blood to 6 Vesta Rd., where they found the man had broken into the basement. The car he was driving had also been reported stolen out of Canton, but police say they didn’t find a gun.

The suspect, 50-year-old Daniel Mulholland of Dorchester, was found with property belonging to people in Milton and Canton that had been stolen in the past two weeks. Milton police say Mulholland was seen on video using his arm to break a window in Milton.

In addition to the break-ins in Boston and Milton, police say Mulholland is also connected to recent break-ins in Canton, Avon, Hingham, Hanover, Norwell and a stolen car in Hyde Park.

He was arrested and charged with breaking and entering, receiving stolen property, receiving stolen motor vehicle, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and refusal to submit.
