LARCENY

On Mar. 29 at approximately 11:31 a.m. Officer Christian Vargas responded to the report of a larceny of wiring from the old concession building at a baseball field at Mickey Stevens Sport Complex. The value of the copper wire was assessed at $1,501.

The reporting party said that the building had been broken into sometime that day and copper wire had been stolen. The door knob appeared to have been struck with a hammer, breaking the door open and allowing access to the building. Inside, electrical outlets were on the ground and wiring appeared to have been pulled out from the conduits that were along the inside of the building.

Three rooms to the building appeared to have been accessed and had electrical wiring removed. Photographs were taken and the report was forwarded to detectives.

On Mar. 31 at approximately 10:38 a.m. Officer Walter Larson responded to the Jack Soban Transport on Bay State Avenue about a stolen ATV valued at $1,000.

The reporting party said that a Yamaha YF2 450 4-wheeler had been stored in the transport lot outside the building on Bay State Avenue and that the property is surrounded with a 6-foot tall chain link fence all the way around.

Part of that fence had been cut, which the officer determined was done some time ago because there was oxidization on the cut portions, big enough for an ATV to fit through. There was also footprints leading out on the ground as well as track prints of a 4-wheeler. The prints made it appear that someone was pushing the ATV out towards the street.

Pictures taken of the lot indicated that the ATV was stolen sometime between Mar. 6 and Mar. 12. Photographs were taken, the reporting party said they wished to press charges, and the report was forwarded to detectives.

She put all the items, which included yoga pants and t-shirts, in a pink store bag, then fled the store and could not be stopped or found. The store wished to press charges for the incident. There was no video surveillance of the subject available. The total value of the items stolen was $1,086.
