Break-in suspects caught

The Brockton Post
BROCKTON--Two Brockton men were arrested and charged with felony breaking and entering and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after one of the men crashed his car into two police cruisers.
Joao Lima Fernandes, 27, and Jermaine Gonsalves, 22, are expected back in court at a later date to face charges after police arrested the pair Monday at about 8:06 a.m. after a short pursuit from a Prospect Street home when Gonsalves smashed a gray 2010 Toyota Camry into two police cars.
Police said officers were not injured, but the two cruisers were damaged and towed.
Police responded to a caller from Prospect Street who called about a suspicious vehicle and another caller from Fields Avenue who said a male party ran into his garage and has not come out.
The men were arraigned Tuesday in Brockton District Court. Charges included three counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, three counts of felony breaking and entering in the daytime, malicious destruction of property over $250 and receiving stolen property over $250.
