MARION, Mass. (WPRI) -- Marion Police said they have arrested a Seekonk man following a breaking-and-entering at a home on Friday afternoon. Just after 1 p.m., police were called to Abels Way after a resident said that a man was seen on the home’s Ring Doorbell stealing a lawn trimmer and leaving in a white pickup truck. A short time later, officers noticed a vehicle matching that description on Mill Street, near Police Headquarters. A sergeant attempted to pull the truck over, but the driver took off at a high rate of speed down Front Street. Police then stopped pursuing the truck due to safety concerns. Officers then saw the truck after it crashed in the Silvershell Beach parking lot. The driver, later identified as 56-year-old Peter Soares, of Seekonk, attempted to run away, but police were soon able to arrest the suspect. During their investigation, officers said that Soares had went into the residents home and shed and had stolen more items. Soares was arrested on the following charges: Breaking and Entering During the Daytime with Intent to Commit a Felony Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle Failure to Stop for Police Operating a Motor Vehicle to Endanger Speeding Marked Lanes Violation Disorderly Conduct “Thanks to the homeowner who quickly reported suspicious activity on their camera, officers were able to locate the suspect’s vehicle, ultimately leading to a prompt arrest in this case,” Marion Police Chief Richard Nighelli said. “I would like to commend responding officers for their quick thinking in not engaging in a high-speed pursuit in the midst of an already dangerous situation. The actions of the homeowner and officers led to a desired outcome without any injuries.” Soares is expected to be arraigned on Monday in Wareham District Court. Close Thanks for signing up!
