Snow Helps Catch Burglary Suspects
We may all be sick of looking at snow, but it seems to have come in handy for the police. Especially in Lakeville, where it helped catch a couple of burglars.
imprint of license plate led police to burglars
Seems all the snow and ice still sitting on the sides of the roads managed to act like a copy machine and catch an imprint of a license plate that led police to a couple of burglars recently.
According to The Enterprise in Brockton, while a Lakeville officer was looking for clues after a recent house break-in, he noticed the license plate imprint in a snowbank. It proved legible and led police back to a pickup truck that matched the description of a vehicle seen at other break-ins.

They then traced the truck to a Dartmouth hotel where officers found a room occupied by Robert Beaucaire and Amy Peters with more than 300 stolen items in it, including jewelry, watches, wallets, laptops and cameras. Police estimate over $10,000 worth of goods was uncovered.
Beaucaire and Peters are both facing charges including larceny and breaking and entering.
