Felony Larceny Charges Against College Student Dismissed After Clerk Magistrate Hearing
The defendant is a student at a local college. After a series of thefts at the school local police commenced an investigation. Eventually they ended up at the defendant’s apartment where they located several items reported stolen by students and local residents. They established video surveillance of the apartment and were able to observe the defendant bringing additional items, later determined to be stolen, into his apartment building. He was interrogated and the police learned that he had in fact been responsible for all reported thefts. The value of the property exceeded $250 and felony larceny charges were applied for under G.L. c. 266 Section 30. Today, our office succeeded in convincing the clerk magistrate not to issue a criminal complaint.
