CANTON — Chief Michael K. Daniels reports that the Canton Police Department arrested a Boston woman in connection with break-ins at two commercial buildings and a residence in town this week.
JAILAH LATREA BATES-HARRISON, AGE 31, of ROXBURY CROSSING, was arrested and charged with:
- Breaking and Entering During the Nighttime with Intent to Commit a Felony (Two Counts)
- Possession of a Burglarious Instrument
- Breaking and Entering for a Misdemeanor
- Threatening to Commit a Crime
- Trespassing
On Friday, April 25, at about 11:30 a.m., Canton Police responded to a residence on Washington Street after receiving a report that a woman had broken into an apartment.
Officers responded and located a woman inside the apartment, identified as BATES-HARRISON.
A preliminary investigation revealed that BATES-HARRISON picked the lock and entered the apartment. She did not have permission to stay at the apartment and had allegedly threatened violence against the resident on a previous day.
Through an on-scene investigation, officers determined that BATES-HARRISON matched the description of a suspect wanted for two break-ins early Thursday morning — one at the office building for a town-owned cemetery at 1600 Washington St. and another at a restaurant at 515 Washington St.
Items recovered by officers at the scene of the residential break-in were consistent with items BATES-HARRISON was seen with on surveillance video during the prior break-ins.
BATES-HARRISON is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Brockton District Court.
The investigation remains ongoing.
“Officers responded quickly and conducted a thorough on-scene investigation that allowed us to identify the suspect and connect the incidents,” said Chief Daniels. “I want to recognize the officers involved for their attention to detail and their work to resolve these cases.”
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
