Teens Break Into Several Vehicles On West Side: Worcester Police

WORCESTER, MA—

Around 5 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7, a Worcester officer spotted two young men on Huntley Street pulling on the door handles of cars in driveways. The boys fit the description that was given earlier to police that involved two who had broken into vehicles on Rich Street.

The officer walked up to the two males, and one of them took off while the second one stayed, giving him a false name. Officers caught up with the boy who bolted, finding him behind a garage on Newton Ave. near Duffy Field. Both suspects had backpacks that had numerous items in them that had been taken from vehicles, said police.

Both males were placed under arrest. The males are 17 and 14 year old juveniles that reside in Worcester.
The items recovered were returned to their rightful owners.

The two males were both charged with Breaking and Entering into a Motor Vehicle in the Nighttime with the Intent to Commit a Felony. The 17 year old was also charged with Providing a False Name to a Police Officer. The 17 year old also had an outstanding warrant out for his arrest for Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon.

Both males will be arraigned at the Worcester County District Courthouse on a date yet to be determined.
