Charges of Larceny Over $1,200 and Conspiracy Dismissed

In April of 2020 police in an Eastern Massachusetts city responded to a call for a larceny. They met with the victim, a local truck driver who routinely delivers cigarettes to convenience stores. While inside a store making a delivery the driver’s truck padlocks were broken and cases of cigarettes were stolen from the inside of the truck. An eyewitness working across the street informed the police of his observations. Additionally, a security video from the store was obtained. It captured the entire incident. The suspects escaped into a vehicle registered to our client. The detectives investigating this incident tried to contact the car owner, our client. They were unable to do so however they did contact her children who identified the car as hers. They also told the police that our client never permitted anyone to drive the vehicle. Based on this information our client was charged with larceny over $1,200 a felony under G.L. c. 266 section 30 and conspiracy G.L. c. 274 section 7. Today we prevailed on a motion to dismiss.
