Felony Charges of Larceny Over $1,200 Dismissed After Clerk Magistrate Hearing
In late December of 2021 police were called by loss prevention to a high end department store located in a suburban mall. Two siblings had been detained. Loss prevention observed both concealing and ultimately stealing items valued at over $4,000.00 dollars. Exercising tremendous restraint and compassion, rather than charge the defendants with a felony the officers elected to proceed by way of clerk magistrate hearing and charged both with larceny over $1,200.00, a felony under G.L. c. 266 section 30 and conspiracy under G.L. c. 274 section 7. One of the siblings is an adult and the other a juvenile. Today, we convinced the clerk magistrate not to issue the complaint against the adult. The juvenile’s case will be heard at a later date.
