Man Charged in Car Break-Ins at South Windsor Gym

South Windsor police have arrested a man accused of breaking into cars at a local gym and then using stolen credit cards in Hartford.

Michael McCoy, 49, of East Hartford, is accused of burglarizing cars at L.A. Fitness on Buckland Road in July, police said.

Police identified McCoy as their suspect after detectives from the South Windsor Police Department obtained surveillance footage showing the stolen credit cards being used in Hartford.

McCoy has been in prison at Hartford Correctional Center since July 25, when he was charged with third-degree larceny, according to Department of Correction records.

McCoy was charged with three counts of burglary in the third degree, two counts of identity theft in the third degree, two counts of illegal use of a credit card and three counts of larceny in the sixth degree. The three arrest warrants were served at court on Wednesday morning.

McCoy was held at Manchester Superior Court on $100,000.00 surety bond and arraigned later Wednesday morning. It’s not clear if he has an attorney.
