On the night of June 25, Edina police arrested Pierre Ramone Larsen while he was driving a stolen vehicle, but it's likely not the only one he had taken.
Larsen is suspected of stealing several other vehicles along with credit cards and electronics in a series of burglaries over the past few months.
He was charged with motor vehicle theft, burglary and credit card fraud, according to documents filed Wednesday in Hennepin County District Court.
Larsen, 28, was being held in the Hennepin County jail ahead of a court appearance set for July 28.
Police arrested Larsen after a resident noticed suspicious activity in her neighborhood and called 911.
His arrest came as police were looking into nearly 30 other burglaries in the west-metro suburb between February and June.
In one case, Larsen is believed to have stolen a vehicle from a driveway and parked it at W. Lake Street and Grand Avenue S. in Minneapolis. The owner got the car back and reported to police that he found a marijuana cigarette in the cup holder and a glove in the front passenger seat.
In another case in May, Larsen allegedly took off with another vehicle and used the victim's credit card to buy gas at a Super America. Video surveillance tapes provided by the homeowner showed that Larsen was wearing the same clothing at the gas station that he was when he allegedly stole the vehicle.
