SOMERSET — Chief Todd Costa and the Somerset Police Department report that a suspect allegedly involved in a break-in last month has been arrested and charged.
NICHOLAS SPANO, AGE 39, OF FALL RIVER, was arrested and charged with:
- Breaking and Entering into a Building in the Nighttime to Commit a Felony
- Malicious Destruction of Property Under $1,200
- Larceny from a Building
- Common and Notorious Thief
On Tuesday, Nov. 23, at approximately 3:15 a.m., Somerset Police were dispatched to Lit Vape Smoke Shop, 1140 Riverside Avenue, for a report of a break-in. The reporting party told police that she heard glass breaking in the store and then observed a male suspect — later identified as SPANO — fleeing south on Riverside Avenue.
Upon arrival, patrol officers observed that one of the store’s front windows was damaged. Officers also learned that the suspect allegedly stole $300 in cash, cigarette packs and the cash register drawer.
Through the subsequent investigation, led by lead investigator Detective James Cardella with the assistance of detectives assigned to the detective division, police identified SPANO as the suspect, who is known to police.
Somerset Police obtained a warrant for SPANO’S arrest out of Fall River District Court. He was arrested on Dec. 1 in Fall River.
SPANO was expected to be arraigned in Fall River District Court on Dec. 2.
These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
