Recent arrests: Putting a ladder to good use

Wareham detectives used a ladder to confirm the presence of two suspects wanted on active warrants.

Wareham detectives went to 227 Charge Pond Rd. to serve arrest warrants on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 3:00 p.m. The detectives were specifically looking for Julie Bergeron, 45, with three warrants; Samantha Bergeron, 26, with two warrants; and Briana Raponi, 33, with one warrant. Believing at least two of the women were hiding in the house, the detectives used a ladder confirming their presence. Julie and Samantha Bergeron were then placed in custody without incident.

They were held at police headquarters and appeared in Wareham District Court on Thursday morning.

Briana Raponi was also caught on Thursday at Target at 3:34 p.m. where she was arrested for shoplifting and the active warrant.
