"The spree started in June of 2018 with three robberies in Bellingham and one each in Franklin and Millis. Then, authorities say, the gang set its sights on the town of Sharon.The town has a vibrant Indian community, one big enough to support an Indian wedding planning business, an Indian spice boutique, and the cultural nonprofit Indian American Association of Sharon. When a home across the street from the spice store got robbed, the thieves made off with thousands of dollars’ worth of jewels, including diamonds, pearls, and sapphires.
"How a burglary ring was finally brought down" Just after 9 p.m. on a night that August, according to a police report, Sharon Detective Anthony Lucie spotted a Toyota minivan driving back and forth in the area around Forge Road and Firebrick Lane."
