Woman arrested Saturday for Dartmouth car break-in, three warrants

DARTMOUTH, MA – On Saturday, July 4, 2020 at approximately 3:44 a.m., while patrolling the Allen Street area, Dartmouth Police Officer Brian Parent observed a female, subsequently identified as Cassie Mandeville, 32, of Purchase Street, New Bedford, Massachusetts, breaking into a vehicle.

As a result of the incident, Mandeville was placed under arrest, and charged with a felony count of breaking and entering into a vehicle during the nighttime. In addition, Mandeville also had three outstanding arrest warrants, all of which were related to breaking and entering.

According to Dartmouth Chief of Police, Brian P. Levesque, “This arrest is the direct result of the dogged determination of our Patrol Division to prevent crime 24/7. As it is inherently difficult to catch someone in the act of committing a crime, this arrest is the perfect example of an officer remaining both vigilant and knowledgeable of the area which he or she is responsible for patrolling.”

As car breaks are a constant issue, the Dartmouth Police Department continues to encourage residents to remain proactive in monitoring their security systems and locking their vehicles.
