Springfield Police have made an arrest in connection with the theft of the brass railings from Symphony Hall earlier this month. Police arrested 41-year-old Elvin Andino on Dickinson Street late Wednesday afternoon.
Andino became a suspect when he allegedly stole brass railings from another staircase in July. Police say Andino has at least 50 adult arraignments.
“Our Detectives did a thorough job in quickly identifying and apprehending this suspect with the combination of good police work and assistance from the public. This repeat offender clearly does not fear any repercussions from the judicial system as he continues to commit crime after crime while out on bail for firearms charges. I hope the totality of all these charges in numerous incidents across the city with both citizens and businesses as victims will finally get this individual held until his trial,” said Springfield Police Superintendent Cheryl Clapprood.
He is scheduled to be arraigned next Friday in Springfield District Court.
