Taylor Passantino

Waveland residents used their home security cameras to help police solve a pair of thefts this week.

Chief Mike Prendergast said Taylor Ryan Passantino, 33, has been charged in both burglaries investigated by his officers.

Passantino was charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools.

On Tuesday, a homeowner on Nicholson Avenue said he saw on his security cameras that a man had entered his storage area and took several items.

The description led police to question Passantino, who admitted to taking the items from the home on Nicholson. The stolen items were recovered from a nearby residence.

The following day, Waveland Police received a call from a resident on Sarahs Lane about a bicycle being stolen.

From the description of the bicycle, police determined it was the same bike that Passantino was riding he was arrested. He was charged with a second count of burglary.
