The man used to live in Milford but is now living in Leominster.
MILFORD, MA — Milford police arrested a former resident on Wednesday, and charged him with the break-in of a home on Purchase Street that dates back to July. Kevin Ireland is facing breaking and entering and larceny charges in Milford. Ireland used to live in the town, according to police, but moved to Leominster.
The break-in was reported to police on July 26 — police said no one was in the Purchase Street home when it occurred. Police could not specify if anything was stolen because it is an ongoing investigation.
Police said Ireland was implicated in the break as more information came out of the investigation and detectives obtained warrants for his arrest based on the probable cause. Though Ireland lives in Leominster, he was arrested on Wednesday in Fitchburg.
