Melrose Police Arrest Two for Breaking and Entering into a Motor Vehicle

MELROSE – Chief Michael L. Lyle reports that the Melrose Police Department arrested two boys for breaking into two motor vehicles early this morning.

On Friday, April 22 at approximately 2:01 a.m., police responded to a residence on Cricklewood Lane for a report of a breaking and entering into a motor vehicle. Melrose Police Dispatch stated that a resident had witnessed the act and had two suspects on scene.

Upon arrival, police were met by two men who were later identified as off-duty police officers from another community, one of whom lives in the area. The off-duty officers told police that they witnessed the two male suspects going through two vehicles that were parked in the driveway.

After identifying themselves as police officers, the off-duty officers had the two suspects wait on the pavement until Melrose Police arrived. A third suspect, described as a black male dressed in all black, fled the scene.

A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY and a 17-YEAR-OLD BOY, BOTH OF MALDEN, were arrested for Breaking and Entering into a Vehicle Nighttime for Felony. Nothing was stolen from the motor vehicles.

“We have seen a rise in motor vehicle break-ins in multiple communities over the last several months,” Chief Lyle said. “Fortunately, nothing was taken from the vehicles in this case. However, I want to remind residents to always lock their vehicles and keep valuables out of sight, even if the vehicle is parked in your driveway.”

Both suspects will be arraigned in Middlesex Juvenile Court.

These are allegations. All suspect are considered innocent until proven guilty.

Methuen Police Arrest Man in Connection with Multiple Car Breaks

METHUEN — Police Chief Joseph Solomon reports that the Methuen Police Department today arrested a man and charged him in connection with at least five car breaks.

At 3:35 a.m. Tuesday, police were dispatched to an address on Tudor Street for a report of two men with flashlights looking into cars in the neighborhood.

Police were given a description of the suspects, and a police officer soon located two men standing behind some bushes. As the officer approached, one man fled, but the officer was able to secure and detail the second suspect.

Officers located a backpack containing books, a camera, and other items in proximity to where the two suspects were standing.

Police established a perimeter, and a K-9 attempted to track the first suspect, but he ultimately could not be located.

Speaking with residents, it was determined that at least five cars had been broken into during the early morning hours and that items were missing from at least one vehicle.

As a result, JAVIER RICHARDS, AGE 32, OF METHUEN was arrested and charged with:

  • Breaking and Entering into a Motor Vehicle to Commit a Felony (Five Counts)
  • Possession of Burglarious tools
  • Larceny of Property Over $250
  • Larceny of Property Under $250

“This is a fine example of police, working in the early morning hours and responding aggressively to a report of a crime in progress,” Chief Solomon said. “I am pleased that the stolen property has been returned to its rightful owners, and hopefully our actions have set an example for those who seek to victimize our residents.”

RICHARDS was transported to the Methuen Police Department pending arraignment in Lawrence District Court. Police are still seeking the other suspect. If anyone has any information on him or his whereabouts, they are asked to call Methuen Police at 978-983-8698. All callers may remain anonymous.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
