Six people were arrested over a period of several days in connection to a storage unit break-in that involved weapons theft and drugs, according to the Wareham Police Department.

The break-in occurred on Sunday, Sept. 13, police said. Among the stolen personal items were the unit owner's rifle and a shotgun were stolen.

Police said the Detective Division got a search warrant for a car wanted in connection to the break-in on Tuesday, Sept. 15. The driver, Luis Gonzalez, 34, of Buzzards Bay, was arrested in connection with the entry of the storage unit and operating the vehicle after his license was suspended. His passengers, Ian Quinn, 34, and Nichole Spillane, 29, both of Wareham, were both arrested for possession of various prescription medications.

Gonzalez was arrested on charges of breaking and entering in the daytime, breaking and entering at nighttime, larceny over $250, two counts of larceny of a firearm, and carrying a firearm without a license.

Spillane was arrested on charges of possession of a Class E drug. Quinn was arrested on charges of possession of a Class E drug, and a Class B drug.

Police said detectives then arrested Melissa Ravida, 34, of 112 Kristin Lane, Wareham, in connection with the break-in and her involvement in the theft of the firearms. The other resident, Michael Ravida, 36, of Wareham, was arrested on a "fugitive from justice" warrant, unrelated to the storage unit break-in.

Melissa Ravida was arrested on charges of breaking and entering in the daytime, breaking and entering at nighttime, two counts of larceny of a firearm, and two counts of carrying a firearm without a license.

Just hours later, police said, with assistance from the Bourne Police Department, the stolen rifle was recovered from Michael Enos, 35, of 4 Wilson Ave., Bourne. Enos was arrested on charges of possession of breaking and entering during the daytime, breaking and entering at nighttime, larceny over $250, two counts of larceny of a firearm, and two counts of carrying a firearm without a license.

Early on Sept. 16, Wareham detectives obtained a search warrant to investigate a different storage unit where the stolen personal property, including several contractor’s tools and personal items valued at about $10,000, were recovered.

Police said on Sept. 17 detectives returned to 112 Kristin Lane, and recovered the reported stolen shotgun.
