Billerica Police | MA

On 1/28/12 at approximately 8am Billerica Police received a call from a resident on Andover Rd stating that they had observed a green Ford Ranger pickup truck drive up to a neighbors home.  The caller stated that the vehicle left and was loaded with equipment and scrap metal.

Before calling the police the witness called the neighbor to advise him that someone was at their home and left with a truck full of equipment and metal. The victim was able to get in a vehicle and follow the green pickup towards Wilmington where he was able to get the suspects to stop. Because the pickup was so overloaded the victim was unable to see the registration plate.

Officer’s William Conners, Brian West, Don Boulette and Detective Glen Magnan arrived and assisted the return of the property to Andover Rd.  During the brief investigation the suspects claimed that they thought the items they took were just “scrap” metal.  In addition to some steel plate and scrap that was stolen, the suspects also helped themselves to a Bobcat auger attachment valued at $4000.

Scott M. Maga of 215 Salem Rd and his son, Michael Maga, of the same address were both arrested for felony larceny.  It should be noted that Scott Maga was also arrested in April 2011 by Sergeant Steven Elmore.  Sgt Elmore observed Maga driving his green Ford Ranger down Boston Rd with an overweight load of steel that had been stolen from the Boston & Maine Railroad located at Iron Horse Park in N. Billerica.
