Car Breaks In Worcester Leads To Gun Charges

WORCESTER, MA—A pair has been charged with carrying guns and ammo after police came across them in an area where a lot of car break-ins had occurred.

On April 11, officers were in the Burncoat area because of recent complaints about break-ins to cars. Shortly before midnight, a gray car with three men inside appeared to be slowly driving around various side streets in the area with no apparent purpose, said police.

After the car made a turn without using a signal, officers pulled the car over near 300 Burncoat St. Officers approached the car, and noticed what appeared to be the barrel of a firearm between the legs of the rear passenger. No one in the vehicle had a license to carry a firearm. Everyone was removed from the car, and a second gun was discovered under the front passenger’s seat. Several .22 caliber rounds of ammunition were also discovered, said police.

Omar and Adonis Ramos, both 22 and from Fairhaven Road, were placed under arrest. They were both charged with Unlawfully Carrying a Firearm and Possession of Ammo without an FID Card. They will be arraigned in Worcester District Court.
