SOMERVILLE-
Two women have been arrested in connection with several breaks into
homes in West Somerville between August 29th and September 3rd. The
breaks occurred on Wallace Street, Lovell Street and Powder House
Boulevard. Farrah Manning, age 33 and Danielle Walsh, age 35, both of
55 Ossipee Road, have been charged with multiple counts of receiving
stolen property after an intensive investigation by Somerville
Detectives who had the suspects under surveillance for several days.
Walsh is also charged with one count of breaking and entering in the
daytime.
On September 2nd, detectives followed both females as
they travelled to 449 Washington Street in Boston where they were
observed as they pawned items suspected of being stolen from Somerville
homes. The transaction was also recorded on video.
In the
course of their continuing investigation, detectives were able to
confirm that the items sold by Manning and Walsh had been stolen during
house breaks in Somerville. When Somerville and Boston Detectives and
one of the Somerville victims returned to the Boston pawn shop to
retrieve the stolen property, Manning and Walsh walked in behind them
carrying a bag. Upon seeing a Somerville Detective Michael Kiely, they
dropped the bag on the floor and attempted to leave but were stopped by
detectives. The bag was found to contain three laptops that were
recently stolen in Somerville. Danielle Walsh was also observed by the
victim, who was with the detectives, wearing a necklace that was stolen
from her home. During the continuing investigation, laptops valued at
approximately $10,000.00 and jewelry valued at $10,000.00 were
recovered.
Chief Anthony Holloway attributed the quick
solution to these crimes to timely crime analysis, diligent
professional investigative techniques and information received from the
community.
The investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be filed.
