Pair Arrested in Weymouth on Break-in Charges

WEYMOUTH, MA — Two people who were charged with breaking into a home in Weymouth last year face new charges after being arrested last Wednesday.

Wednesday, police received a report from the street that someone took jewelry from a home. As police investigated the scene, a Toyota matching the suspect's car came down the street. The two were arrested. Police say they found gloves, flashlights, screwdrivers, jewelry, and more inside the vehicle.
