Westport man charged with breaking into Lees
Police allege resident broke into market sometime overnight Monday to Tuesday
A Westport man faces multiple charges after police said he broke into Lees Market late Sunday or early Tuesday, Aug. 24-25.
Jacob Farias, of Kirby Road, was arrested at home a day after police responded to the Main Road market to investigate a reported break-in at the liquor store some time overnight. Officers found broken exterior and interior windows and two broken liquor bottles on the ground outside. Farias was identified as a suspect through video surveillance footage.
Police went to his home Wednesday, Aug. 26 and located Farias in the backyard. After he attempted to run, police said, he was caught after a short foot pursuit.
Farias was booked and brought to the Fall River Justice Center, facing charges of breaking and entering in the nighttime and larceny from a building.
