INCIDENT 2013-10731
On Friday November 15, 2013 at approximately 12:20 A.M., Hopkinton Police received a report of residential breaking and entering in progress off of Lumber St. As officers were responding to this location, a call was received from an alarm company reporting an intruder alarm at a business on West Main Street.
Upon arrival at the West Main Street business, responding officers observed the front door of the business to be smashed and a subject fleeing this area in a motor vehicle. Officers quickly detained this subject. Upon reviewing security video, the detained subject was observed parking his vehicle in front of the business, then breaking the front door glass, entering the business and taking several items.
Corey J. WELCH, age 23 of Dracut, Mass., was charged with the following offenses:
1. Breaking and Entering Nighttime for Felony
2. Larceny from a Building
3. Destruction of Property +$250
4. Operate MV License Suspended
Upon further investigation, it is believed that WELCH was the person who placed the initial breaking and entering call as a ruse in order to commit his crime.
WELCH was held on $5,000 bail for his appearance at Framingham District Court later today.
