BOSTON, Nov.18, 2015— A man with a 14-page record and at least three aliases was arraigned last week as a common and notorious thief, after his arrest in a string of break-ins, making him eligible for up to 20 years in state prison, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

CHRISTOPHER FISHER (D.O.B. 5/2/66) was arraigned in West Roxbury Municipal Court on Nov. 6 on charges of larceny over $250 and two counts of breaking and entering during the daytime with intent to commit a felony in connection with two separate break-ins and arraigned again on Nov. 9 on two counts each of breaking and entering in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, larceny over $250, and being a common and notorious thief in connection with two additional break-ins.  According to prosecutors, Fisher has an open case in the same court charging breaking and entering during the nighttime with intent to commit a felony after his arrest in February near the scene of a break-in at a home on West Street in Hyde Park.

At the request of Assistant District Attorney Kyle Siconolfi, Judge Debra Shopteese imposed bail of $5,000.

Prosecutors told the court that Boston Police detectives investigating break-ins at homes and businesses in Hyde Park were able to link Fisher to the offenses through surveillance images captured at three of the locations and fingerprint evidence collected at two.

Fisher is accused of breaking into a Hyde Park Avenue residence on August 18 while the victim was at work and stealing a laptop and other items.  A security camera inside the building where the break-in occurred captured a man later identified as Fisher wearing a maroon t-shirt bearing a Florida State Football logo that had been stolen from the victim’s residence, prosecutors said.  Boston Police criminalists later matched fingerprints at the scene to those on file for Fisher.

On Sept. 8, Boston Police responded to the scene of an overnight break-in at a Fairmont Avenue hair salon where electronics and hair extensions were taken.  The incident was captured by a security camera inside the business; that footage captured the suspect wearing the same maroon shirt taken during the August home break-in.

Also on Sept. 8, officers responded to the scene of another overnight break-in at a Truman Parkway business.  Security cameras at the location captured that incident, as well.

In the fourth incident, Fisher is accused of breaking into a Dana Avenue home on Oct. 17 and taking cash and a U.S. savings bond – a crime he was linked to through fingerprint evidence, prosecutors said.

Boston Police disseminated an image of the suspect captured during Fairmont Avenue break-in to other law enforcement organizations.  A member of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department positively identified the individual as Fisher, who has more than 20 convictions for larceny- and burglary-related offenses, prosecutors said.

Fisher returns to court Dec. 18.
