Bourne Man arrested at MBTA South Station

Brett Whitcomb

On September 28, 2013 at approximately 5:20 p.m. Transit Police officers from Area 1 were on patrol at MBTA South Station Commuter Rail when they observed 3 males who had been loitering. The officers believed one of the males had a warrant for his arrest. Officers began to make their way towards the trio however upon seeing the officers approach they hurriedly separated from each other and attempted to vacate. Officers were able to catch up to the suspect male and identify him as Brett Whitcomb, 39 of Bourne. Sure enough Whitcomb had 3 warrants in existence for his arrest issued from Brockton District Court for Larceny by Check Over 250.00, Plymouth District Court for Larceny Over 250.00 by False Pretense and Quincy District Court for Larceny Over 250.00 by False Pretense. Whitcomb was placed into custody and transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process.

Power Tools, Toilet Paper and a Trash barrel.

William Jones

On September 25, 2013 at approximately 4 p.m. a male, later identified as William Jones, 51 of South Boston, sauntered into the busway of the Andrew Sq. MBTA station. Jones was pushing a 50 gallon trash barrel that contained several hundred dollars worth of stolen power tools. Jones' intention were to sell the ill gotten gains to the highest bidder. Unfortunately for Jones he choose a plainclothed Transit Police detective, who was there on an unrelated investigation, to conduct his business with. To sweeten the deal Jones said he would include the barrel and a large package (18 rolls !) of Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper. Now who could say no to that.
Needless to say Jones was placed into custody for Knowingly Receiving Stolen Property over 250.00 and transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process. All the items "for sale" were seized. It is expected that Jones will be arraigned sometime today in South Boston District Court.
