A Chesterfield County man has been arrested in connection with 39 commercial burglaries in three Richmond-area localities in which an intruder stole petty cash and electronic goods such as iPads, Henrico County authorities said Tuesday.

David Allen Williamson, 50, of the 2300 block of Alfalfa Lane, is alleged to have been involved in 19 commercial burglaries in Henrico County, 12 in Richmond and eight in Chesterfield, Henrico police Lt. C.J. Eley said.

Williamson is accused of stealing small amounts of cash and electronic goods such as iPads from medical and dental offices, thrift shops and some retail outlets in business parks, according to Henrico and Chesterfield authorities.

Eley said Williamson was developed as a suspect after Henrico police identified him as being in the area of a burglary on Nov. 6.

Henrico police had earlier begun investigating a series of burglaries in early October in business complexes and office parks in both the eastern and western parts of the county. Eley said. The intruder’s method of entry was consistent in all the cases, and similar items were taken, he said.
