Lovett, who has prior theft history, will be arraigned today on multiple charges of burglary, possession of stolen property and possession of a stolen vehicle, Tudor said.

Most of the burglaries occurred after the suspects knocked on the front door of a residence. If no response occurred, the suspects went to the rear of the residence and forced entry through a back door or window, police said.
