“Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan stated that due to an extensive, ongoing investigation by Massachusetts State Police led by Detectives assigned to the District Attorney’s Office, a 14-year-old has been charged with breaking and entering a vehicle in the nighttime to commit a felony, larceny of a firearm, possession of a firearm and conspiracy to commit a crime. A 15-year-old has been charged with breaking and entering a vehicle in the nighttime to commit a felony, larceny of a firearm and conspiracy to commit a crime.
During the overnight hours of March 23, the two juveniles allegedly entered the parking garage of an apartment complex on Overlook Ridge Drive in Malden. The two allegedly broke into the marked cruiser and the 14-year-old took possession of the rifle. That firearm and other stolen items were later recovered in a Malden home connected to the 15-year-old.
The Prosecutor assigned to this case is Jacob McCrindle. Massachusetts State Police Troop A and Massachusetts State Police Crime Scene Services Section assisted in the investigation.
The juveniles were arraigned Tuesday in the Cambridge Juvenile Court.”
