From the Fall River Police Department

On Monday, 03-01-2021, at approximately 6:11 P.M, officers were dispatched to 306 Bank Street Apartment 2 in regards to a break in progress.

Upon the officer’s arrival, they were informed that the parties potentially involved with the break in progress were located in the backyard of the residence. It was initially reported to officers that a female voice was yelling outside of the apartment door, “Let me in, let me in!”. A male suspect subsequently broke into the apartment with a blue crowbar. At some point both suspects fled the apartment. Officers were able to locate two parties in the backyard, Jose Almeida (Age38) and Anahi Rodrigues (Age 39). Almeida was located on the fire escape of 306 Bank St. He had a crowbar in his hand. Rodrigues had a black backpack in her hands and placed it on the ground upon seeing the officers.

It was learned that Rodrigues had an arrest warrant and she was placed under arrest. Almeida was also placed under arrest. While placing Rodrigues under arrest, Sergeant Parousis observed a firearm in plain view located in a black backpack that was in her possession. This firearm was later identified as an EXTAR 5.56 AR15 Pistol. The firearm was discovered loaded with two rounds wedged in the open chamber. It should be noted that two PMAG firearm magazines with approximately 10 to 15 rounds of 5.56 ammunition were seized with the firearm
