BURLINGTON — Chief Michael Kent is pleased to report that a wanted fugitive who allegedly stole money and prescription drugs from a disabled elderly Burlington resident she was supposed to be taking care of has been taken into custody.

After a lengthy, multi-jurisdictional investigation, MARIE L. WILLIAMS, AGE 57, OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA was arrested on a warrant on Sept. 10 and returned to Massachusetts to face arraignment in Middlesex County Superior Court on Sept. 28 on the following charges:

  • Larceny over $250 from a Disabled Person Over 60 (Five Counts)
  • Larceny Under $250
  • Abuse of an Elderly or Disabled Person
  • Larceny of Drugs
  • Identity Fraud
  • Being a Common and Notorious Thief

WILLIAMS was arrested by Orlando Police on charges stemming from a series of incidents that began in 2015. She is accused of stealing money and prescription drugs from an elderly man. WILLIAMS was working as the home health aide for the victim through a friend of a relative and not any particular agency.

Williams was indicted in July 2017 but fled the area.

“The Burlington Police Department did not give up in its pursuit of suspect who allegedly took advantage of and robbed a vulnerable resident who was supposed to be in her care,” Chief Kent said. “I am extremely proud of the work that went into resolving this case and the time and effort put forth by no fewer than four different law enforcement agencies in two states that ensured that this suspect could not escape justice.”

WILLIAMS was located after a follow-up investigation by Burlington Police detectives, who worked in conjunction with detectives from the Cambridge Police Department and Orlando, Florida Police. The suspect was brought back to Massachusetts by members of the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Apprehension Unit.

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

Bedford Police Investigating Purse Thefts at Businesses

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department is investigating two purse thefts from businesses on Colby Court yesterday.

The thefts are believed to be unrelated and police are asking for the public’s help in identifying four individuals who are believed to have worked together in one of the incidents.

At approximately 2:30 p.m., police responded to Panera Bread, 7 Colby Court, after a woman reported that her purse was stolen.

Surveillance footage inside the restaurant showed at least four people that appeared to “case” the business and worked together to steal the victim’s purse.

The investigation further showed that the victim’s credit cards were subsequently used in Manchester to make fraudulent purchases of thousands of dollars worth of electronics. The group also attempted to use the credit cards at the Bedford Target.

The vehicle they were in is described as a newer silver Ford Explorer.

Anyone who recognizes the individuals from the surveillance footage images is asked to call Bedford Police at 603-472-5113.

In a separate theft, at approximately 10 p.m. Wednesday, police responded to Walmart, 17 Colby Court, for a report of a woman in the parking lot who had her purse stolen.

When officers arrived, they spoke to the victim who had been loading her vehicle when the female suspect took the victim’s purse from the her shopping cart and fled on foot.

The female suspect is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall and in her 20s or 30s. She was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants. She was last seen on foot behind the Bedford Grove Plaza shopping center.

Bedford Police are actively investigating both of these incidents.

Chief Bryfonski would like to remind shoppers to not lose sight of their valuables and to report any suspicious activity they may notice inside of businesses or in the parking lots.

Stoneham Police Arrest Three Men Following Vehicle Break-In

STONEHAM — Police Chief James McIntyre reports that the Stoneham Police Department arrested three men allegedly involved in breaking into a pickup truck Tuesday night.

MICHAEL DICOLOGERO, AGE 19, RICHARD CECERE, AGE 19 and KYLE NOFTLE, AGE 18, ALL OF REVERE, were charged with:

  • Breaking and Entering in the Nighttime to Commit a Felony
  • Receiving Stolen Property Under $250
  • Conspiracy

At approximately 8:38 p.m. on Tuesday, police were called to Bonad Road for a report of a motor vehicle break-in.

Officers responded to the area and spoke with the resident who owned the vehicle that had been broken into. He told police that he was inside his home when he saw someone enter his pickup truck.

The victim called police and chased after the suspect, later identified as DICOLOGERO. The victim also stated that he saw two men inside of a gray vehicle that drove off when he began to follow DICOLOGERO.

DICOLOGERO ran out of both of the sandals he was wearing, leaving him with only socks on his feet. He ran through multiple backyards in the snow in an attempt to flee the truck’s owner. A canine from the Melrose Police Department responded to the area to assist Stoneham and Reading police officers in the search for DICOLOGERO.

As police were searching the area, a gray vehicle matching the description given by the victim drove by an officer and was stopped. Inside the vehicle were CECERE and NOFTLE. They initially denied having anything to do with the break-in.

A short time later, dispatch received a call from a resident on nearby Larson Road reporting that a man was at his door wearing only socks and asking to use a telephone.

Officers responded and positively identified DICOLOGERO. Inside his pockets police found $3.01 in loose change believed to have been taken from the victim’s pickup truck.

Based upon the officers’ investigation, all three men were arrested and were expected to be arraigned in Woburn District Court Wednesday.

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