BILLERICA — On Monday, Dec. 29, 2025, the Billerica Police Department was notified of an overnight break-in at a car dealership on Dunham Road, where several new snowplow blades and their mounts were stolen.
According to a statement from the Billerica Police Department, the Billerica Police Criminal Investigations Division launched an investigation following the report.
“That investigation, which included review of video surveillance and other evidence, led police to suspect the involvement of Michael Sansevero and a 31-year-old Billerica man,” the Billerica Police Department said in its statement. “The investigation also led to the recovery of a stolen work truck and trailer from elsewhere in Billerica.”
Police obtained search warrants from Lowell District Court for Sansevero’s residence on Ox Road and for a vehicle believed to be operated by the 31-year-old Billerica man.

- Two large-capacity magazines
- Bags containing fentanyl
- Prescription medications
- More than $2,000 in cash
