Wellesley Police Arrest Trio After Car Break-Ins

WELLESLEY, MA — Wellesley police caught and arrested three minors who police said were involved in the break-ins of several cars in town and the theft of one.

On Jan. 9 officers received a call about a reported break-in for three cars on Crest Road. The caller told police they heard their dog barking but didn't see anything else suspicious. Since several other cars had been broken into in town, officers checked the cars along the surrounding streets and found cars broken into on Crest Road, Summit Road, Sunset Road and Harvard Street.

One officer noticed a white SUV with its lights off and tried to stop the car. The SUV drove off at first but stopped on Kingsbury Street. Police said one of the minors in the car tried to get out of the car and run off. Two other minors were still in the car, police said.

All three were taken into custody. The Department of Children and Families took custody of one of the minors and the Department of Youth and Families took custody of the other two minors.

Wellesley police recovered several items that were stolen from the cars and are trying to reunite them with the owners. The car the minors were in was also stolen. Police said anyone living on Crest Road who may have had items stolen should call police to recover them.
