A Weymouth man was arrested on Sunday and charged with breaking into cars near the Nantasket Beach Resort and carrying high-capacity ammunition without a firearms license.

At about 6:15 a.m. on Aug. 27, Hull Police were called to the hotel after a man was thought to be breaking into vehicles, according to Chief John Dunn. A responding officer caught up with Nicholas Nardo of Weymouth, who was walking along Nantasket Avenue near Edgewater Road, and saw that he was carrying a Glock magazine in his right pocket. Nardo was searched and a total of five large capacity Glock ammunition magazines were found. Nardo does not have a license to carry a gun or ammunition, police said.

Hull Police called in the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department K-9 Unit to search the area for a gun, but none was found. The Sheriff’s Department Bureau of Criminal Investigation unit also assisted.

Police believe that Nardo broke into five cars near the hotel and in the Sagamore Hill neighborhood on Sunday morning. He was arrested and later arraigned on five counts of breaking and entering of a motor vehicle, and four counts of possession of a large capacity feeding device at Hingham District Court.
