On Saturday, July 4, 2020, at approximately 3:44 a.m., while patrolling the Allen Street area, Dartmouth Police Officer Brian Parent reports observing a female, subsequently identified as 32-year old Cassie Mandeville of Purchase Street in New Bedford, breaking into a vehicle.
As a result of the incident, Mandeville was placed under arrest and is charged with a felony count of breaking and entering into a vehicle during the nighttime. In addition, Mandeville also had three outstanding arrest warrants, all of which were related to breaking and entering.
According to Dartmouth Chief of Police, Brian P. Levesque, “This arrest is the direct result of the dogged determination of our Patrol Division to prevent crime 24/7. As it is inherently difficult to catch someone in the act of committing a crime, this arrest is the perfect example of an officer remaining both vigilant and knowledgeable of the area which he or she is responsible for patrolling.”
As car breaks are a constant issue, the Dartmouth Police Department continues to encourage residents to remain proactive in monitoring their security systems and locking their vehicles.
My security cameras caught a male in my back yard at 3:33AM 7/04/2020 on Brownell Ave near Allen St, He was probably working with the woman that was arrested. There was nothing of value in the car that entered and he casually strode back out of the yard when all of our security light activated. He pulled up his hoodie and turned away from the one visible camera. Our cars are usually always locked but I must have forgot to lock it last night. I saw the videos in the morning and found both the glove box and console ransacked and dumped on the floor. He was only in the car for a minute.
Until I read the comment from the earlier poster, my first thought was that the poor girl was just desperate to find a safe place to sleep. She does look exhausted, though.
She’ looks stressed tf out ‼️‼️‼️?????
