GPS In Bottle Leads To Robbery Suspect's Arrest

Taking a cue from fishermen, Manchester detectives used a bottle of narcotics as bait to hook a man suspected in a series of robberies and break-ins at three pharmacies.

On Friday, they reeled in their drug-hungry suspect after he grabbed a GPS-marked bottle of Vicodin that led investigators right to him.

Frederick Faunce, 41, of Thomaston, was arrested on burglary, larceny and other charges stemming from a break-in late Thursday night at the Westown Pharmacy.

Faunce also is a suspect in a May burglary there and in two knifepoint robberies at Westown, as well as in similar robberies at pharmacies in Plymouth.

Manchester Police Use Tracking Device To Find Alleged Robber

A tracking device in a stolen bottle of Vicodin led police to a robber who they said has targeted a local pharmacy and one in Plymouth.

Detectives tracked the 'bait bottle' - stolen from the Westown Pharmacy at 455 Hartford Road late Thursday night - to the intersection of Main Street and Burr Road in Plymouth, police said. Manchester detectives coordinated with Plymouth police and arrested Frederick Faunce, 41, of Pine Hill Road in Thomaston, they said.

Faunce was arrested on burglary, larceny, criminal mischief and other charges stemming from Thursday night's theft of the prescription pain medication, police said. They expect to arrest him on more charges related to robberies in Manchester and Plymouth and another burglary in Manchester.
