Suspicious activity at a towing company led to the arrest of a Canton man on Saturday, July 14, following an investigation by Canton police. The man reportedly raised suspicion when he approached a vehicle at Pat’s Towing on Turnpike Street with tools in his hand. The man then fled in his own vehicle after being approached by the owner, who was able to obtain a partial license plate number. Detective Paul Gallagher checked registry records and later arrested David Tedeschi, 54, of 34 Sherman Avenue, and charged him with larceny under $250, attempting to commit a crime, and operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license.
