Stoughton Man Charged With Breaking Into Memorial Mustang

WEST BRIDGEWATER, MA — A Stoughton man was one of three people charged with breaking into a vehicle bought in memory of a man who died last year.

Eric Brathwaite, 53; Armando Alves, 31; and Elvis Andrade, 25, both of Brockton, were all arrested and charged with breaking and entering a vehicle at night with intent to commit a felony, conspiracy and illegal possession of burglarious tool, according to the Enterprise.

The car, a Mustang, was purchased in memory of Cory Wasilewski, who died in a Route 24 crash in February 2017. Cory's father, Thomas Wasilewski, told the Enterprise that he heard voices outside and saw that the car's interior lights were on. He was able to chase the suspects and block them into a dead-end street.

The three were taken into police custody a short time later.
