Those arrested include: Yi Wei Lin, 34, address unknown, Cheng Ni, 43, of Boston and Ming Hua Wu, 50, of Quincy and Xue Tan Zheng, 21, of Boston.

Officers also located a notebook inside a black 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee in the area that contained many addresses throughout New England believed to be related to other break-ins. Police do not believe this was a random crime and are actively involving businesses and homeowners in their investigation.

“This investigation remains active and ongoing,” Chief Bongiorno said in a statement released Saturday. “We are working with our law enforcement partners to determine whether these suspects are connected to other break-ins.”

All four suspects will be arraigned at Concord District Court on Monday.
