Dartmouth Police arrest man living in vacant house

Ramos in being charged with B&E into a Building During the Daytime and Malicious Destruction of Property Valued Over $250.

On Monday, August 17, 2015, Dartmouth Police arrested a homeless man, identified as Thomas Ramos (53), after neighbor’s reported seeing him inside of a vacant house.

While interviewing Ramos, he told officers that he had bought the residence and had been living there, and, in fact, had keys to all of the locks.

After learning this, one of the officers contacted the realtor responsible for the sale of the house, who confirmed that Ramos did not belong there. The realtor also informed the officer that they were familiar with Ramos, as he has changed the locks on vacant properties in the past, then claims to live there when questioned.
