News Notes: Motor vehicle crash leads to B&E charges

A Canton man and two other men from Stoughton will be summoned to court to face charges of breaking and entering into a vehicle following a two-car accident on Pleasant Street on Sunday, November 6, around 11:45 a.m.

The driver of one of the vehicles, Albert G. Smith IV, 18, of Stoughton, faces additional charges of negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stop and yield. The other two men, Kyle Duarte, 19, of Canton, and Timothy Norton, 19, of Stoughton, face the B&E charges.

Police Lt. Patty Sherrill said the three were in a vehicle traveling up Fencourt Road toward Pleasant Street. They turned left onto Pleasant Street but allegedly did not stop at the stop sign and collided head on with another vehicle. After interviewing witnesses, Sherrill said police determined that these same individuals had been seen breaking into a motor vehicle just prior to the collision. They were seen removing a backpack from a vehicle and then driving away at a high rate of speed. It was moments later that the collision occurred.
