He pleaded not guilty.
Between Sept. 19 and Oct. 31, Christian allegedly broke into several businesses along Market, Faneuil, and North Beacon Streets by smashing storefront windows and stealing registers and money, police said.
Police determined that it was Christian who allegedly smashed the front door of Widowmaker Brewing Taproom in Brighton with a brick and smashing two cash registers, which were empty, before leaving around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, as reported by WCVB.
The investigation into the break-ins is ongoing. Anyone with information should contact Boston police at (617) 343-4260, the department said.
Christian was released on personal recognizance on the condition that he does not speak to witnesses in his case. He is set to reappear in court on Dec. 9 for a pretrial hearing, according to court filings.
Christain’s lawyer, Patrick Sheehan, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday night.
