Hyannis Man Arrested in GMC Pickup Theft
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS – A 20-year-old local man found himself in handcuffs early this morning after Barnstable Police located a stolen GMC Sierra pickup truck parked brazenly outside 255 Bearses Way.
Shawn Borden of Hyannis was arrested on charges of larceny of a motor vehicle shortly after midnight on November 22, 2025. Officers Austin Buttrick and Kristina Gustafson were seen speaking with Borden moments after he was taken into custody on Bearses Way (see above HN photos).
A sheriff’s crime scene unit quickly arrived to photograph the vehicle and dust it for fingerprints, gathering evidence as part of the ongoing investigation. The Sierra was then towed to Barnstable Police Headquarters for further examination.
Additional details on how the theft occurred or Borden’s alleged involvement remained scarce at the time of this report, with police officers still finalizing court documents.
HN Reminder: The initial details contained in the above report are based on police radio transmissions and information from police sources. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
