ruperto torres

New Bedford Police arrested Ruperto Torres, 44, for the third time in less than two weeks Tuesday after he was found trespassing in the area of 149 Tinkham Street and 505 North Front Street, where he had been arrested twice before.

Yet another person charged in connection with the robbery of a man at 149 Tinkham Street on Feb. 14 has been charged with another crime, after being released on those charges without having to post bail.

New Bedford Police are becoming increasingly frustrated with judges allowing repeat offenders back on the streets, despite having lengthy criminal records.

Eight people were arrested Wednesday after a man reported to police that he was assaulted and robbed at 149 Tinkham Street.
