LIMERICK — A Lancaster man was charged with multiple felonies after police connected him with items stolen from several cars between March 24 and March 31.
Travis Alan Hanna, 20, is in Montgomery County Correctional Facility in lieu of his $500,000 bail, according to court documents. He was charged with theft from a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property, and sale of a firearm.
Hanna is accused of stealing more than $1,400 in cash and weapons, according to police.
He also allegedly took navigation units from several of the cars, police said.
On March 24, police began investigating thefts in the first block of Betty Lane, the first block of Roberta Lane and the 100 block of North Reed Road, police said.
