Police: Brockton Man Charged with Breaking and Entering on Brook Street

Brookline Police were working a paid detail at the Feeney Brother’s Construction Company at the intersection of Aspinwall Avenue and St. Paul’s Street at about 3:15 p.m., the officers saw a man peddle by on a Specialized Rock Hopper mountain bike. The man was biking on the sidewalk with a flat back tire.

According to the report, the man ditched the bike at about 65 Aspinwall Avenue, towards Brook Street and went down the driveway. At this point, the suspect went over an eight-foot fence and climbed up the rear porch of the three-story apartment building.

The officer called for backup while the man climbed down from the second story porch.

Officers stopped the man and asked for his identification.  The man provided a Boston Community Correction Center ID. Officers ran the man’s information and found that he was on probation for shoplifting, attempts to commit a crime, breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony and receiving stolen goods.

Officers charged DeJontre Bell, 19, of Brockton, MA and charged him with breaking and entering in the daytime, two counts of trespassing, and receiving stolen property.

Police believed that the bike was stolen because of the estimated value and the popped tire.
