K-9 HAWK HELPS BPD CRACK ARMED ROBBERY CASE
Brockton Police Detectives have arrested one suspect and charged three others in connection with the October 13th armed robbery at the AT&T store on Pleasant Street.
Carlos DeBarros, 45, of Brockton, faces multiple felony charges after allegedly entering the store with a shotgun, restraining two employees, and stealing thousands of dollars in cash and electronics before fleeing on foot.
Thanks to the quick work of detectives—and the keen nose of Brockton Police K-9 Hawk and his handler—officers were able to track the suspect’s trail and recover a duffel bag containing stolen property, cash, and a sawed-off shotgun.
Further investigation led detectives to identify the getaway driver and uncover evidence indicating the heist may have been an inside job.
