Yesterday evening in Worcester, the scenario was one most residents hope to never encounter. Worcester Police officers arrested two individuals, an 18-year-old named Tyron Minardi and an unnamed juvenile, for their alleged involvement in car break-ins. According to a Facebook post from the Worcester Police Department, the police were tipped off to suspicious activity in the area of Somerset Street around 9:54 p.m. yesterday.
The narrative began to unfold when officers, en route to Somerset Street, were flagged down by a male claiming that two masked men dressed in black had attempted to forcibly enter a car on William Street. The suspects were soon after identified and approached by the police. Starting to walk faster upon noticing the patrolmen, the suspects' reactions might have been construed as indicative of their intent to quickly put distance between themselves and the crime scene. However, it was not long before two witnesses appeared, stating they'd seen the males breaking into a vehicle and alleging that they saw the theft of a Bluetooth speaker.
Upon a search, the police discovered the stolen Bluetooth speaker in the juvenile's sweatshirt pocket. Further incriminating items were found including a long screwdriver and a large steak knife in his fanny pack, while a folding knife was in possession of Tyron Minardi. The Worcester Police Department's post details the charges laid upon them: Breaking into a Depository/Safe/Vault, Larceny Under $1200, Possession of a Burglarious Instrument, and Carrying a Dangerous Weapon.
