A neighbor to the Union Street victim reported seeing a suspicious white SUV with a sticker of a dog on the back window in the area earlier. That evening, the victims of the housebreak sent an e-mail out to friends telling them of the break-in which included a description of the vehicle.

On Tuesday afternoon at approximately 1:16 P.M., a Norfolk resident who had received that e-mail was driving and called police to report suspicious activity on River Rd. involving an SUV that matched the description of the vehicle in the e-mail. The caller stated a female subject was walking along the road when a white SUV being driven by a male party stopped and picked her up. The caller followed the vehicle while staying on the phone with Norfolk Police Dispatcher Garin Eisele, who was able to give the location and description to responding police units.

Norfolk Police Detective Nathan Fletcher caught up with the vehicle on Village Street near the Millis/Medway town line. After a brief investigation, the operator and passenger were arrested and transported to the Norfolk Police Station. The vehicle was towed and impounded by Norfolk Police.

Police allege the two had just been involved with a break-in to a home on River Rd where jewelry was stolen. Police have also identified the two as being involved in the Norfolk break-ins the day before, and also believe they may be involved with other break-ins in area towns. Norfolk Police are working with detectives in surrounding towns and the investigation remains on-going.

Trant was held on $2,500 cash bail and Sherillo was held on $5,000 cash bail. Both were held overnight at the Norfolk Police Station and will be arraigned at Wrentham District Court this morning.
