DNA evidence, cellphone data, and license plate reader data have been collected by investigators after a series of break-ins at a secured PECO service center in Bristol Township.

Ryan Anthony Bonner, 42, of the Levittown section of Bristol Township, was arrested last Thursday on 22 charges, including burglary, criminal trespassing, theft, conspiracy to commit burglary, and criminal use of a communication facility. At a preliminary arraignment before on-call District Judge Mick Petrucci, Bonner was released on $150,000 unsecured bail.

Bristol Township police said they launched an investigation after six burglaries at the PECO service center on Edgely Road between Sept. 21, 2025, and Jan. 31.

In each case, the intruders cut holes in the facility’s fence to steal tools from trucks and trailers. In some burglaries, footprints were left behind, police said.

After one of the burglaries, discharged PECO property, including a first aid kit and tarp, were located in the wooded area near the scene, police said.

In the Jan. 31 burglary, police suspect the getaway vehicle was parked on Overbrook Lane.

Security footage captured either one or two individuals during the incidents, police said.

Although court documents mention three other people, no one, aside from Bonner, has been charged in connection with the burglaries as of Wednesday.

Investigators pulled license plate reader data to connect a black Chevrolet pickup truck to the area. They later used cellphone data, security videos, and DNA collected from the crime scene as part of the probe, police said.

On March 5, officers stopped the black pickup and discovered wire cutters, angle grinders, and an acetylene torch inside, police said.

Another burglary occurred at the PECO yard on April 1.

Police said the suspect cut the fence, stole fans, and fled the scene on a bicycle.

A fan matching the description of the stolen property was listed for sale on Facebook by a user named “Ryan Anthony.” Photos on the profile appeared to depict Bonner, police said.

PECO employees arranged a meeting and bought the fans back from Bonner outside the Acme grocery store on New Falls Road, police said.

After PECO staff bought the stolen fans back, police arrived to collect DNA evidence from the recovered items, according to court papers.

On April 28, Bonner contacted police and met with officers on Ironwood Road.

During the meeting, Bonner turned over nearly $3,000 worth of stolen PECO tools. He agreed to an interview with investigators and spoke about the break-ins and identified other individuals involved, police said.

According to police, the Jan. 31 and April 1 burglaries accounted for $17,400 worth of stolen goods.

The PECO property is surrounded by barbed wire and monitored by an armed guard, according to court papers.

The PECO service center has been targeted by numerous burglaries over the years, resulting in multiple past arrests.
