Police Arrest Burglar in the Act
At 1:27 AM on September 2nd, 2012, Swatara Township Police were dispatched to 701 Hamilton Circle for a suspicious male. A neighbor had witnessed the individual trying to open the back door of the residence, and watched as he walked around to the front of the home. The neighbor saw the male trying the front door, and watched as he eventually opened the door and walked inside. The neighbor called for police.
Officers established a perimeter and attempted to make contact with the male, who they believed was still inside of the residence. Harrisburg City Police responded to assist with a K-9 unit, and the front door to the home was forcibly opened by officers.
When the door was opened, officers encountered the male in question, who immediately surrendered. He was taken into custody and identified as Joel Adam Borrelli, a 39-year-old resident of 205 Hamilton Circle. The home was otherwise unoccupied. Borrelli cooperated with the officers, and admitted to burglarizing the home. He was charged with one count of Burglary, and arraigned at night court. Borrelli was committed to Dauphin County Prison in lieu of $10,000 bail.
The Swatara Township Police Department would like to extend it’s thanks to the Harrisburg Bureau of Police for their assistance.
