An eagle-eyed Medfield motorist can be credited for the recovery of jewelry stolen during a recent Sudbury robbery.
On Thursday at 2:54 p.m., the unknown motorist told a detail police officer in Medfield that there were two suspicious white males sitting in a black two-door vehicle in the back parking lot at Cumberland Farms, according to police documents.
Medfield police subsequently arrested William Bourque, 44 of Arthur Street in Framingham, and Darren Michael Falvey, 33 of Pelican Drive in Walpole, and charged both men with receiving stolen property over $250.
Their vehicles -- Bourque's black 2005 Honda motorcycle and Falvey's black 2012 Ford Focus -- were towed.
Sudbury police arrived at the Medfield Police Station with two robbery victims from their town. Those victims were able to identify some of the recovered stolen property as jewelry that was taken from their home earlier in the day.
According to Sudbury Patch, at least two Sudbury homes were broken into on Thursday after the owners left for work in the morning...
Two Sudbury homes were broken into Thursday with jewelry and other household items stolen, Sudbury Police Lt. Robert Grady said.
