Three Springfield Men Arrested for Motorcycle Theft
LENOX, Mass. — Three Springfield men were arrested for motorcycle theft on Pittsfield/Lenox Road early Saturday morning.
Steven Yariel Perales-Gonzalez, Izmael Morales, and Elijah Carter were charged with breaking and entering and larceny. One was released on $10,000 bail, and two were transported to the Berkshire County House of Correction for allegedly stealing four motorcycles from North Services.
Police said there were five people in a pickup truck fleeing the scene, and two are unidentified. The truck was intercepted on the highway after a failed motor stop, and all the occupants fled.
Shortly before 3 a.m., police were dispatched to an alarm at North Services, located at 515 Pittsfield Road, a longtime business specializing in motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles.
"While en route Officer Bosworth observed a pickup truck fleeing from the scene with 4 motorcycles in its bed heading southbound on the Pittsfield Road. Officers made an attempt to conduct a motor vehicle stop and the vehicle fled heading south on Rts. 7 & 20, then east on Route 20 and entered on to the Massachusetts Turnpike Rt. 90 eastbound," the department wrote on Saturday.
"Neighboring police agencies were notified of the pursuit and the Massachusetts State Police deployed a tire deflation device at the 38 mile marker of Rt. 90. The vehicle eventually came to rest and all five occupants ran from the vehicle."
Perales-Gonzalez, Morales, and Carter were arrested and transported back to the Lenox Police Department for processing.
"Each arrestee was held on $10,000 cash bail and charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime with the intent to commit a felony, larceny over $1,200, and larceny from a building," Lenox Police wrote.
