Theft from Burberry at the Premium Outlets leads to arrest

Brenda Correa-Guzman
Queens, NY
This evening, undercover Wrentham Police Officer Ed Fitzgerald arrested Correa-Guzman for stealing more than $1800.00 worth of merchandise from the Burberry store at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets.  The officer observed Correa-Guzman holding a lined 'booster bag' while the man she was with stuffed the bag with merchandise. 

The classic 'booster bags' police are seeing at the Premium Outlets are shopping bags lined with a metallic tape.  These bags are made by thieves to defeat the magnetic door alarms that are triggered by tagged merchandise.

The undercover officer was able to apprehend Correa-Guzman but the male suspect fled from the scene.  Wrentham Officers from both the day shift (8am-4pm) and the incoming evening shift (4pm-12am) searched the mall area, but were unable to find the man.  It is believed the two came from New York with the intent to steal from the outlet mall.

Correa-Guzman was taken to the police station where she was booked and processed.  ICE was contacted as well.  Correa-Guzman was released on personal recognizance and must appear at the Wrentham District Court in the morning.

One Arrested, Two Others Charged / Premium Outlets

 



Kimberly Curry
Attleboro, MA
 This evening Kimberly Curry of Attleboro was arrested for receiving stolen property with a value more than $250.00 (making it a felony).  What began as a call for a shoplifter in the Cracker Barrel Store / Restaurant, turned in to a pursuit of a gold colored minivan on Rt 1A ending on Green Street.

Officer Steve Saulnier was first to respond to the Cracker Barrel and observed the suspect vehicle leaving the mall property and turning onto Rt. 1A toward Plainville.  Sgt. James Barrett arrived at the intersection of the mall entrance and Rt. 1A, just as Off. Saulnier turned onto the main roadway.

Officer Steve Saulnier and Sgt. James Barrett stopped the minivan and discovered almost $700.00 worth of Yankee Candles in trash bags and boxes in the back seat area.  Curry was arrested for receiving stolen property.  The male driver and female passenger were allowed to drive away from the scene as their two small children were in the minivan with them.  The two will be charged with receiving stolen property over $250.00 also and possibly other charges.

After Curry was taken to the station, police believe the Cracker Barrel security cam images of the minivan a woman to be both the vehicle stopped tonight and Curry.

Curry was released on personal recognizance and will be arraigned in the morning.

Nanny Steals From Family

Vanessa Jollimore
Norton, MA

Vanessa Jollimore (of Norton, MA) who advertised on popular daycare service and social websites (care, sittercity and Facebook), was hired by a Wrentham family in February 2010.  From February until September, Jollimore stole jewelry, clothing, electronics and DVD's from the family whose children she was caring for.

The family contacted the police when Jollimore failed to show up for work in September.  Shortly thereafter, they began to discover property missing and filed a report after first trying to handle the situation on their own.

Sgt. James Barrett began an investigation that ultimately led to a confession by Jollimore to the theft of the victim's property.  He was assisted by Detective Barry McGrath and together, the two were able to obtain a confession, identify the jewelers and pawn shops Jollimore was selling the stolen items at, and recover some of the stolen property.

Although little was recovered,  Jollimore has been charged with larceny by the Wrentham Police.  Several former employers that Jollimore was using as references were notified of the charges being filed against her.

One officer promoted and one hired...


Officer Jon Coliflores and Sergeant George Labonte wait to take their oaths of office.

Tonight Officer George Labonte was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.  Officer Labonte has been an officer with the Town of Wrentham for more than five years and becomes the fourth sergeant on the Wrentham Police Department.  His promotion will bring a supervisor to the over night shift; a position left vacant for the last several years due to severe budget constraints.

Permanent Intermittent Officer Jon Coliflores is also being appointed as a full time police officer with the Town of Wrentham.  Officer Coliflores will replace the vacancy created by Officer Carreiro, who was re-hired by Fall River Police.  Officer Coliflores will attend the Municipal Police Academy this November.

A full crowd of onlookers cheered as the officers were sworn in.  Sergeant Labonte's badge was pinned by his father.  Officer Coliflores's badge was pinned by his wife with his young daughter looking on.

House Break on Hawes Street

This afternoon a house on Hawes Street was broken into.  Access was gained by apparently forcing a locked door, shattering the bolts and locks.  The perpetrator did not take any valuable electronics or other pieces of pricey technology, but rather made his/her way directly to the master bedroom.  The thief made off with several jewelry boxes containing valuable pieces of jewelry.

The case is under investigation and appears similar to a break in Norfolk also reported today.

Man run over by truck on Clark Road

Today, a man was run over by his work truck on Clark Road.  Witnesses believe he placed the truck in reverse and realized he forgot to close a tool box.  He got out of the truck and was run over.

Wrentham Police and Fire/EMS responded to the scene and treated the injured man.  He was taken to King Philip Regional High School where Med Flight treated and transported him due to the seriousness of his injuries.

No further information is available.
