Fall River Police Arrest Two for Allegedly Breaking and Entering
FALL RIVER — Fall River Police arrested two people they say attempted to break into an apartment and were then found with a firearm.
On Monday, March 1, at approximately 6:11 p.m., officers were dispatched to 306 Bank Street, Apartment 2 in regards to a break in progress. Upon the officer’s arrival, they were informed that the parties potentially involved with the break-in that was in progress were located in the backyard of the residence.
It was initially reported to officers that a female voice was yelling outside of the apartment door, “Let me in, let me in!” A male suspect subsequently broke into the apartment with a blue crowbar. At some point, police say both suspects fled the apartment.
