A Somerville Police officers were dispatched to the TJ Maxx store on Middlesex Ave. last week on reports of a shoplifting.

Upon arrival, the officers were flagged down by the store’s loss prevention officer who stated that a woman with hoop earrings and a black jacket was walking through the parking lot with a bearded man that had on a dark jacket and hat.

As the officers drove to the other side of the parking lot, they noticed a man with a beard wearing a black jacket and a blue hat, which matched the description of one of the suspects.

Once the suspect noticed the officers, he reportedly sat down on a bench. As the officers approached the man, who was later identified as Kyle Breton, they asked him if he was just in TJ Maxx and he reportedly stated that he was.

Breton was asked if he was with a woman and if he knew where she was, and he reportedly stated that he was with a woman but he did not know who she was or where she was going due to the fact that they just met two days before.

Breton was then asked if he knew the woman’s name, and he reportedly told the officers a name that he called her. At this point, the officers asked Breton if he could call her and have her come back so they could speak with her.

As Breton opened his phone, the officers noticed that he had a photo of a woman, which he stated is the one he was with in the store. When Breton tried to call the woman, the phone reportedly displayed “BABY GIRL” as he dialed.

At this point, the officers began to search Breton, and they reportedly found two winter hats, a pair of jeans, a jacket, cologne, two pairs of pliers, some money, his cell phone and a car key.

A query conducted by the officers indicated that Breton had five warrants out for his arrest, and he was subsequently placed into handcuffs.

The officers asked Breton how they were getting home and he reportedly told them that an Uber would be picking them up.

Still thinking that Breton was lying, one of the officers took the key to see if it belonged to any of the cars in the parking lot.

The officer hit the unlock button on a car in the lot and it activated its lights. It was determined that the car was registered to Breton’s mother.

As other officers approached the vehicle, they could hear something moving in the trunk. When they opened the trunk, they located a female, later identified as Nicole Martin, hiding behind a big bag of clothes inside the trunk.

Martin was told to exit the vehicle and was placed into handcuffs and her name was run through the system, which indicated that she had two warrants out for her arrest.

Breton and Martin were transported to the Somerville Police station to be booked on the warrant charges.

All the stolen merchandise was returned to TJ Maxx as they will be handling the incident through the store.
