Police accuse a 32-year-old Jamaica Plain man of being practically a one-man minor crime spree responsible for a significant chunk of Boston’s theft from motor vehicles.

Justin Caterson, 32, was arraigned at municipal court in West Roxbury late last month for possession of a burglarious instrument, carrying a dangerous weapon (brass knuckles), trespassing, and resisting arrest. He also faces charges of breaking and entering a vehicle in the nighttime and vandalizing property.

Caterson was ordered held on $500 bail and is scheduled to return to court on April 23 for pre-trial hearings in both cases.

He was back in court the next day, March 29, this time in Roxbury, for another seven incidents between Jan. 5 and March 24 for which he was charged with 11 counts of breaking and entering a vehgicle in the nightime, five counts of vandalizing property, three counts of larceny under $1,200 and trespassing.

For that, he was ordered held on another $1,1750 bail, according tio the Suffolk District Attorney’s office, and is due back in court on May 14 for hearings.

But that’s not the end of things, because he’s facing 14 more larceny from motor vehicle and vandalism charges that have yet to be arraigned.

As of Sunday, Boston has seen a total of 714 larceny from motor vehicle complaints around the city so far this year, according to police statistics. In a city with a population last estimated as north of 650,700 people according to the Census Bureau, Caterson is accused of contributing well more than his fair share to that statistic — and he only took off the first four days of the year.

Police first responded Jan. 5 to an area of Vancouver Street behind the Wentworth Institute of Technology campus where a woman told them her driver’s side car window was smashed in and a number of items missing, not least of which her medical insurance cards and a bag containing $300 in cash, according to a BPD statement.

Ten days later, on Jan. 15, police responded to two incidents in the morning. First to Wayland Street in Dorchester, where a man reported damage to both his front and back passenger-side windows. Then at around 10:15 a.m. to Dale Street, a small residential road off Poplar Street, where five separate people reported damage to their car windows — and one reported a missing cell phone.

It was similar stories on Jan. 19 and Jan. 22. Then on March 15, police responded to two vandalized vehicles — their windows shattered — on Parker Hill Avenue. Caterson was alleged to have had a hot night on March 19, when the 14 unarraigned charges are said to have come into play from incidents on Carmel Street, Delle Avenue and Sewall Street.

Finally came some alleged evidence: On March 24, the same day a man reported his car’s front passenger window broken and $100 stolen from the central console as the car was parked on Sunset Street, a woman said she had footage of a suspect pulling door handles and breaking vehicle windows there from 1:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.
