Fall River Police arrest two in connection to break-in, intent to commit a felony and unarmed burglary

FALL RIVER, Mass. (WLNE) — The Fall River Police Department said two men were arrested after breaking and entering into an apartment on Feb. 6.

22-year-old Donald Hernandez and 30-year-old Shiloh Fernandes are charged with breaking and entering during daytime with the intent to commit a felony and unarmed burglary.

On Feb. 6, police responded to reports of an active break-in at an apartment on Tucker Street.

At the scene, officers allegedly discovered two masked men, Hernandez and Fernandes, inside the residence.

According to police, the front door of the residence had “clear signs” of forced entry.

During the investigation, the tenants told police that three masked men had demanded money the night before.

Police said the suspects then returned later, which caused the complainants to flee and call the police.
